How to change image name to current time stamp php?

Question

I want to change image name with current time stamp in php. My code are below :

$logo = basename($_FILES['file']['name']);

$logo = image1.jpg
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], '../timeTableImg/' . $_FILES['file']['name']);

i get image name in $logo. But Actually i want

$logo = 1484900616.jpg 

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], '../timeTableImg/' . $_FILES['file']['name']);

file name may be dynamic. its may be jpg , png, jpeg. Also want to move file with new name.

why not just override the `$logo` with the timestamp you want. — Mark Vincent Manjac, Jan 21 '17 at 07:05

Use move_uploaded_file function.

Example:

$file_path = "uploads/";   
$newfile = date('m-d-Y_H:i:s')'.jpg';
$filename = $file_path.$newfile;
if(!file_exists($filename))
{
    if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'],$filename))
    {
    // Other codes
    }
}
else
{
    echo 'file already exists';
}

Try this.

$path = $_FILES['file']['name']; 
$ext = pathinfo($path, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$logo = time().'.'.$ext;

And to use the new name. put this.

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], '../timeTableImg/' . $logo);
