If uniqueness is an issue,
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.md5-file.php may be good in
conjunction with a sanitized file name.
For one site with public uploads, I use [sanitized and shortened file
name]-[md5 of file].[ext], which ensures duplicate files will overwrite
each other but otherwise you don't have to really worry about the file
names being unique.
Using [md5 of file].[ext] only means much less helpful file names when
downloaded and a much larger (but still small) chance of collisions.

I believe the problem Nitin had was around long file names and that
approach doesn't guarantee a file name that is within a certain
length, where as the md5 does. I agree that his approach using those
two lines is a nicer cleaner approach if you don't have to worry about
file name length.

Quoting nitin gupta <[email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]>>:
$arr = parse_url($image_url);
$filename = basename($arr['path']);
This code solves the problem by removing the query and
fragments of the url.
Does anyone know of any better way to handle this? Can anyone
point out any
issues with this code?
I think this is the better way. I don't find anything in the
Drupal API to help.
