Rename an uploaded file with PHP but keep the exte

问题:

I'm using PHP to upload an image from a form to the server and want to rename the image lastname_firstname.[original extension]. I currently have:

move_uploaded_file($_FILES["picture"]["tmp_name"], "peopleimages/" . "$_POST[lastname]" . '_' . "$_POST[firstname]")

which, of course, renames the file lastname_firstname without an extension. How do I rename the file but keep the extension?

Thanks!

回答1:

You need to first find out what the original extension was ;-)

To do that, the pathinfo function can do wonders ;-)

Quoting the example that's given in the manual :

$path_parts = pathinfo('/www/htdocs/index.html');
echo $path_parts['dirname'], "\n";
echo $path_parts['basename'], "\n";
echo $path_parts['extension'], "\n";
echo $path_parts['filename'], "\n"; // since PHP 5.2.0

Will give you :

/www/htdocs
index.html
html
index

As a sidenote, don't forget about security :

• In your case, you should escape $_POST[lastname], to make sure it only contains valid characters
  • And, BTW, you should use $_POST['lastname'] -- see Why is $foo[bar] wrong?
• You should also check that the file is an image
  • See mime_content_type for PHP < 5.3
  • And/or finfo_file for PHP >= 5.3

Dont forget if you are allowing people to upload arbitrary files, without checking the, extension, they can perfectly well upload a .php file and execute code on your server ;)

The .htaccess rules to deny php execution inside a certain folder is something like this (tailor for your setup)..

AddHandler cgi-script .php .pl .py .jsp .asp .htm .shtml .sh .cgi
Options -ExecCGI

Put this into a .htaccess file into the folder where you are uploading files.

Otherwise, just bear in mind that files may have more than one "." in them, and you should be golden.

You can try:

move_uploaded_file($_FILES["picture"]["tmp_name"], "peopleimages/" . "$_POST[lastname]" . '_' . "$_POST[firstname]".".".end(explode(".", $_FILES["picture"]["tmp_name"])))

or as Niels Bom suggested

$filename=$_FILES["picture"]["tmp_name"];
$extension=end(explode(".", $filename));
$newfilename="$_POST[lastname]" . '_' . "$_POST[firstname]".".".$extension;
move_uploaded_file($filename, "peopleimages/" .$newfilename);

回答4:

this code is insecure

move_uploaded_file($_FILES["picture"]["tmp_name"], "peopleimages/" . "$_POST[lastname]" . '_' . "$_POST[firstname]". $extension);

if

$_POST[firstname] =mypicture.php%00

and

$extension=.jpg;

this code is vulnerable and result is

test.php%00.jpg //test.php uploaded on server.

First, find the extension:

$pos = strrpos($filename, '.');
if ($pos === false) 
{
    // file has no extension; do something special?
    $ext = "";
}
else
{
    // includes the period in the extension; do $pos + 1 if you don't want it
    $ext = substr($filename, $pos);
}

Then call your file anyhow you want, and append to the name the extension:

$newFilename = "foobar" . $ext;
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['picture']['tmp_name'], 'peopleimages/' . $newFilename);

EDIT Thinking of it, none of this is optimal. File extensions most often describe the file type, but this is not always the case. For instance, you could rename a .png file to a .jpg extension, and most applications would still detect it is as a png file. Other than that, certain OSes simply don't use file extensions to determine the type of a file.

With $_FILE uploads, you are also given a type element which represents the MIME type of the file you've received. If you can, I suggest you rely on it instead of on the given extension:

$imagetypes = array(
    'image/png' => '.png',
    'image/gif' => '.gif',
    'image/jpeg' => '.jpg',
    'image/bmp' => '.bmp');
$ext = $imagetypes[$_FILES['myfile']['type']];

You can have a more complete list of MIME types here.

move_uploaded_file($_FILES["picture"]["tmp_name"], "peopleimages/" . "$_POST[lastname]" . '_' . "$_POST[firstname]." . pathinfo($_FILES["picture"]["tmp_name"], PATHINFO_EXTENSION));

回答7:

you could always:

$original = explode('.', $_FILES["picture"]["tmp_name"]);
$extension = array_pop($original);

move_uploaded_file($_FILES["picture"]["tmp_name"], "peopleimages/" . "$_POST[lastname]" . '_' . "$_POST[firstname]". $extension);
