I'm not exactly clear on what you're asking here. It sounds like you need to know how to upload the files without overwriting existing ones. Is that correct? If so, the function you're looking for is file_exists() combined with a bit of recursion. Something like this should get you there: $file_name = 'Your_file_name'; $file_ext = '.jpg'; $full_file_name = $file_name.$file_ext; $foo = 1; while (file_exists($full_file_name)) { $full_file_name = $file_name.$foo.$file_ext; $foo++; } -- Joe > Hello, > > I need help to upload image with member id, like "m_id_filename.jpg" > just not to overwrite file. > > This is the path, and i m sending m_id on image upload page..on this > page i am uploading 12 images, and i want to save every image with > m_id number, Ex:m_id_imagename.jpg > > http://localhost/sexyjobsmp/upload_photos.php?m_id=12 > > folder name is "uploads" on which i m uploading images. > > here is the code for single image upload... > > > > if (is_uploaded_file ($_FILES['image_1']['tmp_name'])) { > if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image_1']['tmp_name'], > "uploads/{$_FILES['image_1']['name']}")) { // Move the file over. > > echo '<p>The file has been uploaded!</p>'; > > } else { // Couldn't move the file over. > echo '<p><font color="red">The before image could not be > moved.</font></p>'; > $image_1 = ''; > } > $image_1 = $_FILES['image_1']['name']; > } else { > $image_1 = ''; > } > > Please help me wth it...if possible modify the same code so it will be > easy for me. > > Thank you so much! > Avi > >
