yes i looked at that but if the file name changes like

$originalimg = $_GET['img']; $srcImg = imagecreatefrompng($originalimg);		imagejpeg($srcImg,$originalimg,100);		imagedestroy($srcImg);

how would i just change the extension from .png to .jpg but keep the file name the same

I see, just rename it to jpg or jpeg instead png or just change the name then saving the file and remove the old one.

ok i done this is it correct or is there a better way??

$srcImg = imagecreatefrompng($originalimg);    imagejpeg($srcImg,$originalimg,100);    imagedestroy($srcImg);    $NewName = str_replace(".png",".jpg",$originalimg);    rename($originalimg,$NewName);

What works until someone has .png in the filename and not as an extension. Try with explode and take away everything after the last dot.

Thanks do you have example

Thanks do you have example

$newfile = explode(".",$originalimg);array_pop($newfile);$newfile = implode(".",$newfile) . ".png";rename($originalimg, $newfile);

hi bit different problem but same topic so here goes, this code will change Avatar.png to Avatar1339516953.png

$filename .= time();

how would i get 1339516953_Avatar.png

[birbal]

$filename=time() . '_avatar.png';

are you sure it wouldn't actually change it to Avatar.png1339516953? Unless there's something you're leaving out of the picture... to answer your question though,

$filename = time() . '_' . $filename;

yes there is another variable $ext holding the extension thanks i have sorted it like this

$filenameA   =   time() . '_'.$filename;$filename    =  $filenameA;

Why the intermediate $filenameA ???

[Craig Hopson]

cos that was the only way i could get it to do what i wanted

[boen_robot]

You can get the extension, as well as the base name and directory name of a file with the pathinfo() function, which should significantly ease what you're trying to do.You could just do:

$filename_parts = pathinfo($filename, PATHINFO_BASENAME | PATHINFO_EXTENSION);$filename_parts['basename'] = time() . '_' . $filename_parts['basename'];$filename = implode('.', $filename_parts);

Why not this?

$filename   =   time() . '_'.$filename;
