Heya, Muddasir.

Please use CODE tags when posting source code:

[CODE=php]
PHP code goes here.
[/CODE]

This is not the first time I've had to ask you.

Changed thread title to better describe the problem (did you know that threads whose titles do not follow the Posting Guidelines actually get FEWER responses?).

Really? Because according to the code, the name you wanted was the original filename.

[php]$upfile = "uploads/$cr/".$_FILES['userfile']['name'] ;[/php]

If you want to change the filename, it's right there.
