problem with RENAME function..	Can't Post

ok, what im doing, is uploading an image file to a directory. After the image is uploaded, i wish to rename it, so here is the code that im using

Code

  
 
 if (lc($filename) =~ /\.jpg|\.gif|\.jpeg|\.png/){ 
 print "file accepted"; 
 open UPLOADFILE, ">$upload_dir/$filename"; 
 while ( <$upload_filehandle> )  {     
  print UPLOADFILE;   
 } 
 close UPLOADFILE; 
 
($t, $handle) = split(/\./, $filename); 
 
rename("$upload_dir/$filename","$upload_dir/$newfilename");

Could be:

if ($filename =~ /\.(?:jpe?g|gif|png)$/i){

You might want to add:

binmode UPLOADFILE;

...just below your open() so the image doesn't crap out on Windoze :)

What if the file path contains another period?

What is the actual problem with the rename?....you can use $! to find out if it is just not renaming....

rename("$upload_dir/$filename","$upload_dir/$newfilename") or die $!;
