Ave,

What do you mean by "race condition" ?

If more then one user is accesing the page, you might overwrite the first one's verify.png image. Simple and sufficient solution is to append a random string to the filename:


$image_filename= 'verify_' . md5(rand()) . '.png';
ImagePNG($im, $image_filename);
?>
<img src="<?php echo $image_filename; ?>" width="200" height="40">
<?php

Just remember to add some way to remove old images.
