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.
