Dropzone.js - How to change file name before uploading to folder

Question

I am using DropzoneJS script for uploading images with drag & drop, but now I\'m looking for a solution for how to add current timestamps with file name before uploading

Answer 1

I just used the standard php file rename.

$targetFile =  $targetPath . $_FILES['file']['name']; //the original upload
$newfilename = "somename" . $variable . ".jpg"; //a new filename string

rename($targetFile , $new); //rename at the end of the function

This worked well for me and was pretty simple to implement. The .jpg extension is probably not recommended to hard code but in my scenario im only getting jpg file types.
