title: Rename File Upload PHP
body: <p>I am using W3Schools example of file upload using PHP, I know they aren't the best when it comes to coding as it can be outdated and bad etc., but I don't need anything too fancy. But I am wondering how to change the file name when it is uploaded.</p>
  
  <p>W3Schools code (slightly edited):</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
  
  $username = $_POST['username'];
  
  $target_dir = '../forum/uploads/'.strtolower($username).'/';
  $target_file = $target_dir.'profile'.basename($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]);
  $uploadOk = 1;
  $imageFileType = strtolower(pathinfo($target_file, PATHINFO_EXTENSION));
  // Check if image file is a actual image or fake image
  if(isset($_POST["submit"])) {
      $check = getimagesize($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"]);
      if($check !== false) {
          $uploadOk = 1;
      } else {
          $uploadOk = 0;
      }
  }
  // Check if file already exists
  if (file_exists($target_file)) {
      unlink($target_file);
  }
  // Check file size
  if ($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["size"] &gt; 500000) {
      echo "Sorry, your file is too large.";
      $uploadOk = 0;
  }
  // Allow certain file formats
  if($imageFileType != "jpg" &amp;&amp; $imageFileType != "png" &amp;&amp; $imageFileType != "jpeg" &amp;&amp; $imageFileType != "gif" ) {
      echo "Sorry, only JPG, JPEG, PNG &amp; GIF files are allowed.";
      $uploadOk = 0;
  }
  // Check if $uploadOk is set to 0 by an error
  if ($uploadOk == 1) {
      if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"], $target_file)) {
          echo "Profile picture updated";
      } else {
          echo "Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.";
      }
  }
  ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to change the name to just profile, right now when I upload using this code it will upload the file as profile followed by the name of the file, like so, profilexxxx.jpeg.</p>
