Renaming Filenames with 2 extensions

I have a need to upload 2 copies of a image.... one 100 X 75 (small) and one 600 X 400 somethin (large) with 2 inner extensions to differentiate

The upload works fine.... What I want to do is name one " black_lab.small.jpg " and then name the other one " black_lab.large.jpg "

I can do this fine up until I encounter that same filename a 2nd time. WHen the script renames the duplicate filename with a _1 via "[NewFileName]_[Increment]"
the name comes out as " black_lab.small_1.jpg

I have tried the following

"[NewFileName]_[Increment]".small
"[NewFileName]_[Increment].small"
"[NewFileName]_[Increment]".".small"

I have even tried putting it like this:
'FileName' => "[FileName].small",
'FileName' => "[FileName]".".small",

plus a few others....


I have tried multiple ways and they all some out with the _[increment] on the outside, not the inside...

So how Can I get the filenames to be

example_3.small.jpg and not example.small_1.jpg



Thanks ahead for your help....

Unfortunately, this isn't something that you'll be able to do using the upload. The [NewFileName] portion of the renaming uses the FileName that you set up like this [FileName].small or [FileName].large and adds the increment to it. It would require some custom modification of the code to get the renaming to work that way, so it is not supported.

ok... that is not what i was hoping for but what can i say.... thats coding right?

I understand that this is not something that is supported out of the box with DFP2.... I tried modifing the other end to make it so that I would not have to use the .small and .large in filenames..... lets just say that its not feasible.... talkin about MAJOR mod...

So I am willing to do the custom mods on helper.php and the upload form to make it work... at least i only have 2 documents to work with compared to 150.

I have decent knowledge in PHP and am willing to take on this project, its a necessity..... Care to point me in the right direction with a general idea? I can handle it with a push in the right direction

ok i got half way there.....

case WADFP_JPEG:

$newFilePath = preg_replace( $fileExtensionRegExp, $uniqueFileNamePart, $imageFilePath).'.small.jpg';
$endExtension = 'small.jpg';



I added the .small into the part at the end of helperphp.php where it names the file.... And it Works!!! almost.... I need a way to defferentiate which ones get a .large and which ones get a .small according to the final destination folder.....

I tried going off the value of $val['UploadFolder'] so that it looked like this....

case WADFP_JPEG:


if ($val['UploadFolder'] == 'videos/uploads/'){
$newFilePath = preg_replace( $fileExtensionRegExp, $uniqueFileNamePart, $imageFilePath).'.jpg';
$endExtension = 'jpg';
}

elseif ($val['UploadFolder'] == 'videos/uploads/thumbs/'){
$newFilePath = preg_replace( $fileExtensionRegExp, $uniqueFileNamePart, $imageFilePath).'.small.jpg';
$endExtension = 'small.jpg';
}
/**/
$imageQuality = intval($imageOptions[1]);

if($imageQuality > 100){
$imageQuality = 100;
}
if($imageQuality < 0 ){
$imageQuality = 0;
}
imagejpeg($tmp,$newFilePath,$imageQuality);
break;



But that resulted in no file at all being uplaoded..... which i dont get b/c the value of $val['UploadFolder'] is 'videos/uploads/thumbs/'... so one of em should execute at least...

Need a lil help on this, even just an idea?

maybe you want to consider just "overwriting" the file....
if the file already exists.

b/c cameras use common naming conventions... if someone uploads a diff pic with the same name I need to rename the new one so that both can keep their respective images.

I think i am going another route with this.... i got halfway there but could not figure the rest out...
