* Unless more than one person is uploading a picture within the same second you won't have any problems with duplicate names.
I sure hope that there aren't 2 people uploading breadbox.jpg at the same second. That'd be too weird! Now maybe if it was a porn site I could see the same name, tina.jpg, michele.jpg, but again, the same file name on the same second, what are the odds? <--anyone? :) -----Original Message----- From: Chris W.

Someone uploads "breadbox.jpg" you save it as "1010342461_breadbox.jpg". Or if the traffic will not be insanely high you can just call it "1010342461.jpg". hth, Chris. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
