Hi !
I'm trying to develop something in PHP.
I have a list of file, and I want to know if I can have a unique
identifier for each files. What I mean, is:
I have my files:
test.txt
test2.txt
I would like them to return a unique something... anything...
tempnam ?
No, actually, I do not want to create a new file, I want to associate a
certain file to a certain row in a DB. I want to do some windows desktop
like web application for active desktop, and want to know if there could
be some sort of way to have a unique identifier to each file.
I would want this because, take this example in account :
I have dowloaded a file, movie1.avi . I delete it. 2 hours later (the
wipe in the DB for old file entries is not done) I download another file
with the same name. It would be place at the place of the old one !
Maybe by checking the creation date, and the filename, that would be
possibkle... only quirks : if you rename the file not from the web
interface... it would place itself like a new icon.
