I wouldnt worry about filenames :) just make your own file name, store that
name with cross reference to the real filename in a db.
I allow users to update images to our server, I store them directly in the
db, I also store the mime-type along with the filename. every file has a
unique file_id number, I set this with the time functiuon, spec microtime().
<?php
include_once('database.egn');
include_once('time.egn');
if (isset($db_file))
{
echo "INSERTING <br>\n";
$db_file = urlencode(fread(fopen($db_file, 'r'), filesize($db_file)));
$db_file_id = mtime();
insert_db_value('images', " '$db_file_id', '$db_file', '$db_file_name',
'$db_file_type' ");
}
echo "
<html>
<body>
<form method=post enctype='multipart/form-data' action='$PHP_SELF'>
<input type=file name=db_file>
<input type=submit>
</form>
</body>
</html>
";
?>
something like this is real simple and works. might not be what your looking
for but could be easily modified.
