 * Hi, I have this code for a plugin I’m using.
 * `$comment_image_file = wp_upload_bits( $title . $user->user_login . $comment_id.'.'.
   $file_ext, null, file_get_contents( $_FILES[ $comment_image_id ]['tmp_name'] ));`
 * So I can grab the postname ($title) and username ($user->user_login) as part 
   of the uploaded filename no problem.
 * However, I really want these variables to be defined as a subfolder before the
   filename… rather than as part of the filename string.
 * In wp_upload_bits it doesn’t seem possible. Is there a way to do it that I don’t
   know about… ?
