Rename on upload(ts gallery)

[saggy00]

Hello guyw. I have tsse 5.4.1 and i have installed gallery plugin. The problem is the users have uploaded plenty of pictures and now is difficult to find an easy name for your pictures. How can i rename the photos on upload and give them a number(1,2,3...)which(the number) will ascend???

PHP Code:

  //This line assigns a random number to a variable.  You could also use a timestamp here if you prefer. 
$ran = rand () ;

 //This takes the random number (or timestamp) you generated and adds a . on the end, so it is ready of the file extension to be appended.
$ran2 = $ran.".";

  //This assigns the subdirectory you want to save into... make sure it exists!
$target = "images/";  //This combines the directory, the random file name, and the extension
$target = $target . $ran2.$ext; 


PHP Code:

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target)) 
{
    echo "The file has been uploaded as ".$ran2.$ext;
} 
else
{
    echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.";
}
   ?> 


Try that somewhere....

you well want to run a check to make sure that # dose not exsest already!
some thing like this

$cnt = 1;
do {
if(!is_file($target = $target . $ran2.$ext;))$cnt = 0;
} while ($cnt > 0);
