...name form input field? I am currently using the code below to allow users to upload files to my website. How can i change the php script so that it renames the files to the uploaders' last name??

Here is the script i am using now:

<?php
$target = "uploads/";
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ;
$ok=1;

if ($uploaded_size > 1000000)
{
echo "Your file is too large. Please re-size your image and retry. (Max file size = 1 MB)<br>";
$ok=0;
}

if ($uploaded_type =="text/php")
{
echo "No PHP files<br>";
$ok=0;
}

if ($uploaded_type =="text/html")
{
echo "No HTML files<br>";
$ok=0;
}

if ($uploaded_type =="text/htm")
{
echo "No HTM files<br>";
$ok=0;
}

if ($uploaded_type =="text/xml")
{
echo "No XML files<br>";
$ok=0;
}

if ($ok==0)
{
Echo "An error occured during the upload, your file was not uploaded";
}

else
{
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target))
{
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']). " has been uploaded";
}
else
{
echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.";
}
}
?>

If you know how to modify that code to rename the file to the uploaders last name, please let me know.
David, your answer helps alot, but I do need to be able to keep the extension on the file, can someone explain how to add code to keep the file extension on the end of the filename?
