I have used a user's IP address (dots removed) and microtime appended to create a unique file name. The target directory is world writable. Not the most elegant solution... I found that sometimes the file had not been written yet and trying to display it on a page right away resulted in file not found... Rendering the image to the screen without saving to a file works best for me. -- Gerry http://portal.danen.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
