Are you looking for us to write the code for you because that isn't the way we tend to work. There has to be some attempt on your part to find the solution.

For file uploading the best place to start is here:

Code: Select all

<?php
require_once('YourCode.php');
if ( is_broken( $yourCode )) {
   AskForHelp( 'www.devnetwork.net' );
} else {
   AttemptToCreate( 'uploadScript' );
}
?>
There's a start for you :)

a follow up to that is:

Code: Select all

<?php

require_once('YourCode.php');
if (is_broken($yourCode)) {
AskForHelp('www.devnetwork.net');

} else {
$tries = /see what you concious have to say;
for($i=0; $i<$tries; $i++) {
AttemptToCreate('uploadScript');
}

}
?>
Basicly, the common rule is - "If you don't try, we don't help you". It's not that we don't want to. It's just that we won't be able to help you effeciently. Anyhow, just google a tutorial on uploading and renaming files. Do some research on copy() and rename() in the php.net manual.

Good luck,

ps: the code me and evilMind wrote are a joke, don't test it out! :lol:
