this time we will make the auto rename action when you upload your file to a web, the point is file will continue in sequence based on ID, so we will easy when we want to find a file that we have uploaded.

the first step you should do is create a database where the file storage we have uploaded.

you can directly create via the MySQL GUI

then we will create a main page, type the script below and save it with the name main.php.

<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-1q8mTJOASx8j1Au+a5WDVnPi2lkFfwwEAagagfs8hDDdjZlpLegxhjVME1fgjWPGmkzs7" crosorigin="anonymous">
</head>
<body>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">
<br/><br/><br/>
<form action="action.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="form1" id="form1">
<div class="form-group">
<p><h2><span class="label label-warning">SELECT PICTURE :</span> </h2><br/><br/><input type='file' name='filegbr' id='Filegambar'></p>   
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Upload" />
</div>
</form>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
<body background="background.jpg">

the above code will display image like this
I will explain a bit of the script function above.
this is the script link for the design of our web page<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-1q8mTJOASx8j1Au+a5WDVnPi2lkFfwegxhjVME1fgjWPGmkzs7" crosorigin="anonym">make sure you are online while running php file above.
then, this is the script that will take us to the action.php page when pressing the upload button.

<form action="action.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="form1" id="form1">

and this works to add a background image on our web page

<body background="background.jpg">

then for the action we will create a file with action.php name
type the code below and then I will explain at the bottom later.

<div class="row">

<div class="col-md-4">
<?php
include "connect.php";
$namafile= $_FILES['filegbr']['name'];
{ $jenis_gambar=$_FILES['filegbr']['type']; 
$namafolder="gambar/"; 
if (!empty($_FILES["filegbr"]["tmp_name"]))
    if($jenis_gambar=="image/jpeg" || $jenis_image=="image/jpg" || $jenis_image=="image/gif" || $jenis_gambar=="image/png")
    { $lampiran = $foldername . databasename($namafile);  
        if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['filegbr']['tmp_name'], $draft)) 
        {$query_insert = "INSERT INTO datapic (img)
            VALUES ('$filename')";
            $insert = mysql_query($query_insert);
            $data = "SELECT id,img from datapic order by id desc limit 1";
            $bacadata = mysql_query($data);
            $select_result = mysql_fetch_array($readdata);          
            $id    = $select_result['id'];
            $img = $select_result['img'];
                if ($insert)
                {
                $updatename = "UPDATE datapic SET new_name = CONCAT(id, '-',img)";
                $rename     = mysql_query($update_name);        
                $dash = '-';                
                rename($draft,$foldername.$id.$dash.$img);}
                else
            echo"
            

image has been saved
 

            FIRST NAME : $img 

            NEW NAME: $newname 

            ";  
        } else {echo "image failed to upload";}
   } else {echo "wrong format. Harus .jpg .gif .png";}
} else {echo "you not select iamge to upload";}
?>
</div></div></div></body></html>
<body background="background.jpg">

This section serves to insert data into the database:

{$query_insert = "INSERT INTO datapic (img)
            VALUES ('$namafile')";
            $insert = mysql_query($query_insert);
            $data = "SELECT id,img from datapic order by id desc limit 1";
            $bacadata = mysql_query($data);
            $select_result = mysql_fetch_array($bacadata);          
            $id    = $select_result['id'];
            $img = $select_result['img'];

this is the main function that will make auto rename on the file we upload:

$bacanm = "SELECT newname from datapic order by id desc limit 1";
$baca   = mysql_query($bacanm);
$select_result = mysql_fetch_array($baca);          
$newname    = $select_result['newname'];

then we will create a script that works to connect our web with the database we have created.

<?php
$host = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$databasename = "rename";
$connection = mysql_connect($host, $username, $password);
mysql_select_db($databasename, $connection) ;
?>

customize the name of your database in this section.
$databasename = "rename";
okay, all the script has been made, then we try to run the web we have created.
type the file name in your browser's search field.

select one image as an experiment

then press the upload button, it will look like the picture below.

names have been changed by adding IDs automatically and will continue in sequence

then we see whether the image has been saved to the database.

the image we upload has entered into the database

oke the tutorial is done, please try.
