Bad Logic.

I made a file uploader, and I used this script to make sure that there wouldn't be a problem because of repetitive files trying to be uploaded with the same name. So I used:

 

do{
     $filename = uniqid();
}while(file_exists($filename . $ext));

 

However, when I want to put the URL to the image into a database later in the script when it recalls $filename, the value generates another random string, giving me the wrong URL. Anyone know how I can make this work?

You're saying whenever you call filename (after the loop has completed) the value is different? I don't rightly see how that is possible.

do not generate new $filename just use one gerenated befor

$id = 0
while(is_file($filename))
{
  $id++;
  $filename = $filename . '_' . $id;
}
