currently I have a program which uploads a file to a directory and posts
the userfile_name in a table in Mysql.
I want to call the id of a row and take the variable userfile_name
and replace the extension to another.
Example;
example1.ps is listed in the Mysql database I want to change the filename
extension only however leave the suffix intact
example
original
example.ps
concantenated, renamed file
example.pdf

I actually meant to say leave the prefix intact and change only the suffix

This would require a simple regular expression search.
$new_filename = eregi_replace("^(.*\.)ps$", "\\1pdf", $filename);
I haven't tested it, so don't take my word for it.
If you're unfamiliar with the ereg functions, this basically says that
you'll match all the non-whitespace chars (.*) from the beginning of the
line (^) up until a period (\.), then take the string you matched (\\1) and
append a pdf to it. You will look in $filename, and return the new string,
which is stored in $new_filename.
hope this helps.
Hell, I hope this works!
take care,
nik
