Hi Avi, 3 points: 1. You can do as Udayakumar has suggested or I suggest. Putting the member id at the end of the file name or the front is a "half a dozen of one, six of the other" sort of thing. 2. I already provided your answer, short of writing three or four paragraphs explaining what everything does, dropping it into a function, and adding the function to your code. If anything in this code doesn't make sense, please let us know what and I or someone else will be happy to illuminate it for you. > > $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++; > > } 3. If you are looking for something besides a helping hand, a bit of tutoring, help debugging, code ideas, efficiency thoughts, opinions, etc (i.e. someone to do your work for you), might I suggest this website? http://www.rentacoder.com/ . -- Joe > Hi Arvind, > > Better add the member id number at the end of the file like > member_10.jpg > > Thanks & Regards > Udayakumar Sarangapani > Sr. PHP Developer > CompIndia Infotech Pvt.
