Can You Change The Filename On The Fly?
Question:
Is there any way to change the name of the file being uploaded on the server without using JavaScript on the filefield prior to the submit?
Answer:
No. You can't change the filename before upload.
You can select file naming options for making the filename unique for example.

Renaming File
Hmmmm............. I'm going through this right now. I need to replace the filename with a SessionID that is unique so I know which photos go with which entry. I'm using it for online submission of obituaries. So I need a way to associate the uploaded photos with files with the form submission data. Since I create a unqiue Session ID when users fill out the form and insert the data, I need to grab that ID and rename the uploaded files with it.
What I am attempting to do is modify the include file. I renamed the include file since other instances on the site use it. Stay tuned...............
