Renaming filename with article name before uploading

Question

I would like to know if its possible to add title of the article to file name when uploading it ?

Example: I am uploading files with simple code

    $directory = '../images/adds/';
    $temp_file = $directory . basename($_FILES['file']['name']);

    if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $temp_file)) {
        echo "<p style='color:#1dff03;'>file uploaded.</p>";
    }
    else{
        echo "<p style='color:#f00;'>File cant be uploaded.</p>";
    }

I am saving file name in database with title : my-article-name-filename.png but cant upload to server with article title, is it possible to get some help?

they are not same questions to me, other two questions are about random naming files but mine is renaming file name with article name, I am not a professinal coder, sorry if I made a mistake. — , Mar 05 '18 at 19:21

You just have to put your desired file name in the $temp_file variable. In the following example I used the $new_name variable in the first line to define it:

$new_name='my-article-filename.png';

$directory = '../images/adds/';
$temp_file = $directory . $new_name;

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $temp_file)) {
    echo "<p style='color:#1dff03;'>file uploaded.</p>";
}
else{
    echo "<p style='color:#f00;'>File cant be uploaded.</p>";
}
