Excuse my longwinded reply .. pretty new to this

Just a name change on the image so it doesn't overwrite the file if someone uploads the same named file. I have seen some code that does this and adds numbers to the file name which would be handy i.e image01.png image02.png etc

Hi All... My name is Stu... Im from the UK. Ive built a few sites over the years on CMS and years ago i thought i'd have a dabble with dreamweaver... Although sometimes it frustrates the hell out of me and I sit up for hours on end trying to get something working the end achievement is second to none! Today i have been searching high and low for something i know should work but just can't find the answer so... Its time to ask some experts... Hopefully i can learn from some of my mistakes and I won't have to sit here for so long! Im hoping to speak to some of you soon through the forum as I'm looking for a few answers! All the best Stuart

Hi Im trying to put a link on to upload an image.. I have the code and its working fine.. BUT.. i want to change it slightly so the image file is changed so it does not give the error "Sorry, file already exists." i manage to remove this but then it just over writes the existing image... Can some one help with a simple piece of code that will change the image file name on upload even if its just a number after the file name will suffice... Here is my current code: thanks in advance! Stu <?php $target_dir = "uploads/"; $target_file = $target_dir . basename($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]); $uploadOk = 1; $imageFileType = pathinfo($target_file,PATHINFO_EXTENSION); // Check if image file is a actual image or fake image if(isset($_POST["submit"])) { $check = getimagesize($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"]); if($check !== false) { echo "File is an image - " . $check["mime"] . "."; $uploadOk = 1; } else { echo "File is not an image."; $uploadOk = 0; } } // Check if file already exists if (file_exists($target_file)) { echo "Sorry, file already exists."; $uploadOk = 0; } // Check file size if ($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["size"] > 10000000) { echo "Sorry, your file is too large."; $uploadOk = 0; } // Allow certain file formats if($imageFileType != "jpg" && $imageFileType != "png" && $imageFileType != "jpeg" && $imageFileType != "gif" ) { echo "Sorry, only JPG, JPEG, PNG & GIF files are allowed."; $uploadOk = 0; } // Check if $uploadOk is set to 0 by an error if ($uploadOk == 0) { echo "Sorry, your file was not uploaded."; // if everything is ok, try to upload file } else { if ( move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"], "upload/".$username.".".$extension)) { echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]). " has been uploaded."; } else { echo "Sorry, there was an error uploading your file."; } } ?>
