An alternative way I have used to ensure unique filenames during uploads is to assign each user a
value, a username if that is applicable, or just a random number. Create the filename using a
user's specfic value and also a timestamp, as logically a single user cannot be submitting more
than 1 file at a time.
This may seem a little unnecceassry however, if you are expecting a large upload quantity of files
it will improve the processing time for each upload, imagine cycling through the loop written below
for 100 or even 1000 files and checking each file exists.
