You could replace the file name with a randomly generated number. There are a number of ways to generate random numbers in PHP. Try this for starters: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mt-rand.php > 2. The second part is the most annoying.

Now you have: "home/sites/madden.williamsen.net/web/recruiter/resumes/$img1_name" You need a forward slash before home: "/home/sites/madden.williamsen.net/web/recruiter/resumes/$img1_name" Instead of using chmod 777 (ick!) you should change the ownership of the file to be owned by the web server user which is usually "nobody" you can do this with the chown command from the command line.
