When users fill out the form and submit their images, they also have to put in their ID number.
The images are saved to the file server and the form works perfectly.
The only thing I would like to do is during the save, name the image that is being uploaded to the ID number they entered with the form.
Is there any way of taking that $idnum and making that the filename of the image as it's saved?

At this time you don't have that ability. I imagine you could try to alter the image name after they submit through the $_SESSION variables on a custom redirect. I haven't tried it but it should work.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.

Just a thought why not ask the users to name the image with their ID before they upload it

The formbuilder uses $_SESSIONS to store the variables. Those variables are available to work with after submit. You can use the custom redirect option to alter the variables. You should be able to look for the image by name using the variables and then change it to the value of another variable being used in the form. I'll see if I can through together some example code if I get a chance. I have several projects going at the moment.

Here ya go.
I did some testing and the form builder renames images sometimes but not always so your should always use the script to make sure.
I setup my form to do a custom redirect to the page holding this script. The script is setup to be in the same location as your formname.php. Adjust the paths if your going to place it someplace else. Adjust the rename-photo-upload to the name of your form. Adjust the Redirect to the location of your page holding the form embed script. Mine is in the same location as the formname.php on a page named index.html.
