Upload/Duplicate Filenames

[Anon]

Newbie here,

trying to prevent image files from being overwritten because of existing image file with the same name being present.

How can I do this?

Your help is much apprecated!

if(file_exists('/www/uploads/'.$uploadfile_name))
die('Duplicate File!');
else {
// do your upload thing...
// stuff like move upload..etc.
}

Thanks LxGhak,

That function works great. I mofied it a little to do what I needed:

if (file_exists('images/'.$uploadfile_name)){
$uploadedfile_name=("1".$uploadedfile_name);
}

much appreciated!
