Renaming a file that a user uploads to site?

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

My site allows for registered users to upload images to the site under their own gallery. Currently it just leaves the file named as however the person has it named. But what I would like to do is something another site does, which is rename the files when the user uploads them. An example of how I would like it done:
A user whose username is "I Like Cheese" uploads a file named "whatever.jpg", but in the uploading form, they title the upload "Dog In the Rain". I`d like like "whatever.jpg" to be renamed to "Dog In the Rain_by_I Like Cheese.jpg" upon the upload process and use that new filename for the database information.

How would I tell the system to rename the image file in that manner?
