Zend File Upload Rename Error
I am uploading three files using Zend Element File. I am uploading and renaming the files. Now the problem is that when uploading same extension, it generates error of
Zend_Filter_Exception: File 'D:\wamp2\tmp\php2443.tmp' could not be renamed. It already exists.
For example if in first file I upload file of extenstiono .txt in second I upload .docx and in third I again select .txt or .docx, It will generate the above given error.
But If I select three different extensions, every thing goes best. I am using the following code
if ($form->med_file_1->isUploaded()) { $originalFilename = pathinfo($form->med_file_1->getFileName()); $newFilename = time() . '.' . $originalFilename['extension']; $form->med_file_1->addFilter('Rename', "application_data/uploaded_files/patients/" . $newFilename,$originalFilename['basename']); $form->med_file_1->receive(); } if ($form->med_file_2->isUploaded()) { $originalFilename = pathinfo($form->med_file_2->getFileName()); $newFilename = time() . '.' . $originalFilename['extension']; $form->med_file_2->addFilter('Rename', "application_data/uploaded_files/patients/" . $newFilename,$originalFilename['basename']); $form->med_file_2->receive(); } if ($form->med_file_3->isUploaded()) { $originalFilename = pathinfo($form->med_file_3->getFileName()); $newFilename = time() . '.' . $originalFilename['extension']; $form->med_file_3->addFilter('Rename', "application_data/uploaded_files/patients/" . $newFilename,$originalFilename['basename']); $form->med_file_3->receive(); }
Answers
The reason for the error is because you are naming each uploaded file:
time() . '.' . $originalFilename['extension'];
The call to receive() happens so fast that time() returns the same value on each call so you can end up with duplicate file names. You just need to generate a more unique name for each file. Something like the following should work:
md5(uniqid(time(), true)) . '.' . $originalFilename['extension']; //or $originalFilename['basename'] . '_' . time() . '.' . $originalFilename['extension'];
