But it's entirely up to *YOU* to decide where to copy the file to. Maybe you'd *WANT* to replace files as they were uploaded. I tend to use the user's filename and preg_replace() to get rid of everything except a-zA-Z._- and then checking where I'm copying to tack on 1, 2, 3, ... until I find a new filename that's not in use. You should also start using http://php.net/move_uploaded_file instead of copy or whatever you are doing. -- Like music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
