I have this form that uploads files. But I want to rename the file that gets uploaded.

$_FILES['filetoupload']['name'];

Which echos "filename.pdf" and that is all well and good. But I would like the file name to be for example... "nun4umxymv3-93.pdf"

the string of letters and numbers are random from a function and the last two numbers are the id number of the record that contains this uploaded file. How do I change the name of the file that gets uploaded but will keep the extension?

nm, I figured it out..

I did...

$filename = $_FILES['filetoupload']['name'];
$ext = explode('.',$filename);

$filename = $randomNumber."-".$id.".".$ext[1];
