Note Submitter: solja at gci dot net ---- Just another way I found to keep an uploaded file from overwriting an already exisiting one - I prefix each uploaded file with time() timestamp. Something like: $unique_id = time(); Then when I give the new name to move the file to, I use something like: $unique_id."-".$filename So I get a fairly unique filename each time a file is uploaded. Obviously, if two files are uploaded at once, both will have the same timestamp, but I don't worry too much about that. Hope this might help someone.
