when uploading a file using Upload:: , is there a way to save the file under a different name that I can specify? ( not necessarily a random number)

salmane

so far what I found is that one can use
Upload::process(array(
'prefix'=> ' ',
'randomize'=> true,
'suffix'=>' ',
))
which is good enough for what I wanted to do
hope this helps someone

Register a "before" callback, it gives you access to the 'saved_to' and 'saved_as' fields of the file array, and allows you to alter both path and name before saving. You can also use the "after" callback, have the Upload class save it to a random filename, then access that name in your callback method, and move the file elsewhere.

Do you happen to have an example for that by any chance? I would greatly appreciate it. my code looks like this

 Upload::process(array(
         'prefix'=> Session::get('user_id').'_',
           
        ));
        
        Upload::get_files();
        
            if (Upload::is_valid()) &#123;
            
             Upload::save();

}

There's an excellent example in the docs, using a closure so you don't have to define the actual callback method. The example alters the path to save to, but you can do any manipulation of the file array.
