title: Adding timestamp and custom name to a File uploaded via PHP
body: <p>I was looking for a way to add a timestamp and a custom name to a file uploaded to my server via php. I does some readings on $_FILE[] to understand its arguments, but the official PHP docs give no detailed explanation.</p>
  
  <p>This is the code I use to upload, where could I include the timestamp (date('m-d-Y_H:i:s')) and name (ie: "myFile") to create a uniq name for files that are uploaded?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
  
  <pre><code>$date = date('m-d-Y_H:i:s');    
  $file_path = "uploads/{$_POST['name']}/";
  
      if (!file_exists("uploads/{$_POST['name']}")) {
          mkdir("uploads/{$_POST['name']}", 0777, true);  
      } else {
          echo 'folder already exists!';
      }
  
      $file_path = $file_path . basename($_FILES['zipFile']['name']);
      if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['zipFile']['tmp_name'], $file_path)) {
          echo "success";
      } else {
          echo "fail";
      }
  </code></pre>
