Hey,

Have made a script that basically uploads a file... nothing special. I wanted to rename each file with the user's username, so if my username is Test User the file would rename to test_user.ext.

When I echo out the username and file name, they appear correct, but when I upload the image, it renames it to Array.ext. Not sure why it's outputting as an array, when I echo it out normally, it shows.

Here's some code:

PHP Code:


			
<?php

// Rename file according to username

foreach(getUser($_COOKIE['userID']) as $info) {

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

    $file_name = str_replace($ext[0], strtolower($info['username']), $ext);

                

    // Avatar directory

    $directory = 'images/avatar/'.$file_name.'.'.$ext[1];

    // Move file to directory

    move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upload_avatar']['tmp_name'], $directory);

}

?>

Can anyone see anything that I might have missed? Can't work my head around it :confused:

Thanks
