You might find is_file() to be a 'more reliable' indicator because
file_exists() works for both directories and files. Thus if for some reason
$mg1_name was empty then your statement above would effectively be:
file_exists("mjpalpics")
which, assuming that your directory always exists, would return true, which
may not be what you want.
I was bitten by this 'feature' of file_exists() just today, had me stumped
for a good hour or so.

Hmm..
You gave me a lot to think about, and a whole lot of
work to do. I definately love your idea and logic, and
yes, it would make everyone happy.
well i guess by the time i figure the coding and
process out, i'll keep in mind to arrange for your
British Airways Gift Certificate too.

WOOO.. i did not know this was possible :
file_exists("mjpalpics/$img1_name")
And this might actually solve the whole issue!! Let me
try this..

In the long run, I think the best plan is to name your files after the
unique database ID.
Store the names ('room.jpg') in the database.
If you expect getting more than a thousand files or so, split them into
directories. If you use a numeric key, just take the last digit or two and
use that for the directory (for instance, '4745' would go in '5/4745').
Then write a simple readfile script to process downloads (see today's
thread about protecting downloads).
You can look in the database and construct URLs like:
and your download script can look at the number to figure out which
directory it's in, and look at the file name to figure out the mime type
to send. The browser's happy because it thinks it's getting a file called
room.jpg no matter how many of them you have, the server is happy because
the files are spread nicely across a few directories, you're happy because
you got your work done, and I'm happy because you sent me a British
Airways gift certificate out in gratitude.

Umm...wouldn't you want to use file_exists("mjpalpics/$img1_name")
instead? Otherwise you're not checking for it existing in the same place
you are copying it to...

Possibly. But one thing that is definitely a problem is:
if(file_exists($img1_name)) {
$img1_name = "n"+$img1_name;
}
should be:
if(file_exists($img1_name)) {
$img1_name = "n" . $img1_name;
}

What about this :

not do");
Sends the images to the mjpalpics Directory!

Hmm... possibly when i say
if(file_exists($img1_name)), he's looking for the file
name in the Directory where the Images initially go..
but then since i copy them elsewhere, they won't be in
the initial place.. and so he overwrites while
copying..Possibly! Don't know for sure.

Re: [PHP] Uploaded File OverWriting Old File
Glory & Power!
I'm using the following code now... the Error is gone,
but it's still overwriting the old file. It's not
changing the name.. not doing anything, just uploading
this new file and replacing the old one..
"256000")
and ($img1_type != "image/pjpeg") or ($img1_type !=
"image/jpeg")) {
$sql = "INSERT INTO mjpals
(name,age,gender,country,email,date,profile,looking,pic_name,pic)
VALUES
('$name','$age','$gender','$country','$email','$date','$profile','$looking','','no')";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die("You made a
mistake, please go back and try again");
}
?>
Thank you for adding you details. The following has
been added to the Database :
Age : $age
Gender : $gender
Country : $country
Email : $email
Your Profile : $profile
You are looking for : $looking
");
if (($img1_size <= "256000") and ($img1_type ==
"image/pjpeg") or ($img1_type == "image/jpeg")) {

Your Photo : Name - $img1_name | Size - $img1_size

Hmm...
Tried it, and this doesn't sound too good :
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: file_exist()
in d:\apache
group\apache\htdocs\mjimm\mjpals_added.php on line 37
Basically this is what i added in the appropriate
place :
if(file_exist($img1_name)) {
$img1_name = $img1_name+n;
}
And thanks a lot..

Well, I presume that you would like for this *not* to happen right?
if so, just add a if(file_exist($img)) { change name of img.
I expect you could add an 1 to the end or better still, have the user
choose another name?
