Hallo

I get problem to rename file upload when insert in database. can someone help me ??

If you want to insert a file into a DB you need to load the file into a binary string first, so for example the file has been uploaded:





$upload = CUploadedFile::getInstanceByName($formInputName);

$fileContents = get_file_contents($upload->tempName);


//insert $fileContents into an appropriate blob field

I’m not sure if this is what you wanted.

Edit changed getInstance to getInstanceByName.

That might help you




            $attachment = CUploadedFile::getInstanceByName('CourseDownload[file]');


            //Saving the File


            $OriginalFilename = $FinalFilename = preg_replace('`[^a-z0-9-_.]`i','',$attachment->name);


            // rename file if it already exists by prefixing an incrementing number

            $FileCounter = 1;


            // loop until an available filename is found

            while (file_exists( $baseDir.'/downloads/'.$this->course_data->code.'/'.$file_type.'/'.$FinalFilename )){

              $FinalFilename = $FileCounter++.'_'.$OriginalFilename;

            }

            // Save file

            $attachment->saveAs($baseDir.'/downloads/'.$this->course_data->code.'/'.$file_type.'/'.$FinalFilename);
