I have a situation where I allow users to upload images, and I store the names of the images in a database and the images I store in a some folder on the server, but what I would like to do is to dynamically create names for the images and dont ever have to worry about if this name exists and with out having to got to the trouble of asking the user to change tha name of the file. So dose some one have a nice litle solution for this problem. Thanks, David
Insert your file-info into the database Use mysql_insert_id() (or similar) to get the ID of your new row. (You do have an auto_increment column, right?) Use that ID as filename. Regards Joakim Andersson
