Hi

I think what I need is just a line or 2 of php code

This is my situation

filename.jpg gets uploaded and if it exists then rename to filename_($n).jpg
$n being a number so if filename_1.jpg also exists then name the file filename_2.jpg

If anyone understands what I need, help will be appreciated.

Regards...

You might want to have a look at this

rename();
file_exists();

I do something similar on one of my websites, here is the code:

PHP Code:

 // Check if the file exists
if (file_exists ("downloads/$filename") == true) {
    // If it exists, we're going to put "[1]" in front of it, if that already exists "[2]", ...
    for ($i = 1; $i = $i; $i++) {
     if (file_exists ("downloads/[$i] $filename") == false) {
     $filename = "[$i] $filename";
     break;
     }
    }
}
// Here you can use move_uploaded_file()

its like: -

rename("your-old-file-location-and-name.php","your-new-file-location-and-name.php");

Why don't you use radom name, so you don't have to deal with name duplication. Just a thought.
