I'm not advanced well enough with images and PHP to be able to offer help there as I've learnt what I need to know but I can help with the random filenames:
[code]$randomname='img'.time().'.jpg';[/code]
That will start each filename off with "img" and end in ".jpg" although if you're not using JPEGs all the time you might want to change that for whatever the file extension of the image is.
