Overwriting images on a server


MortimerJazz

Recommended Posts

Following on from an earlier post, I've got a script that allows users to upload their own images to the server.

However, they're only going to be allowed to upload 3, so I'm going to rename each picture something like pic1, pic2, pic3 for example.

Therefore if people decide to update their pictures, I'm going to have to overwrite the file that's on the server with the new picture.

Can someone tell me how I go about doing this please as currently, the original file still exists.

It seems if you upload a file with the same name to your server it overwrites the previous file automatically. So it looks like the issue is a caching one rather than a coding one.

I have the image being displayed once it has been uploaded - and if you overwrite an image, the page still displays the old picture unless you refresh it.

Don't suppose there's any way around that is there?
