Note Submitter: ahydra ---- sedativchunk's code is a little poor in places. The most glaring error was using 25600 for "200KB" when it should be 204800. Also using a random number to distinguish between a new file and an already existing file doesn't guarantee the old file will not be overwritten (the same number can appear twice). It would be better to use a loop that checks "0000filename", "0001filename" etc until it finds one that doesn't exist. Johan already pointed out the problem with >3 character extensions. Finally, why not declare the filename array in one line $files = array('jpeg', 'jpg', 'gif', 'png'); (though using the MIME type may be better to weed out silly things like a TXT file uploaded with a .gif extension) There are a few other places where the code could be simplified also. It's a pity this code is poorly written, as it provides a nice copy/paste for anyone wanting to debug file uploads.
