Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/prasathmani/tinyfilemanager/issues/1012

I wish to auto add a date prefix to uploaded file names.

Like "DSC_1234.jpg" becomes "2023-04-08 DSC_1234.jpg"

How can I modify the code to achieve this?

// format the date as required
$tmp_name = new DateTime().$f['file']['tmp_name'];

Thanks!

I tried this:

$tmp_name = $f['file']['tmp_name'];
$date = date("Y-m-d H.i.s");
$tmp_name = "{$date} {$tmp_name}";

But it's not working

Apparently it doesn't work because it uses $fullPath instead to rename the temporary filename, change this:

github.com/prasathmani/tinyfilemanager@6a6eb8abec/tinyfilemanager.php (L1000)
to:

rename("{$fullPath}.part", dirname($fullPath).$ds.date("Y-m-d H.i.s")." $filename");
