EDIT: Using $prefix = substr ( md5(uniqid(rand(),1)), 3, 10);
works now.

I don't know any php (well small bits) so I don't know what all that other stuff is, but I wouldn't use md5, there's no need for it to be secure and 32 characters is a bit long for a prefix imo.

I don't think that's going to work for DE.
I have to get extension and all that.

Working on it anyway.

what the ****. 32 chars + filename + extension.. that's not needed.

I like the concept, and the speeds but the stripes dont agree with my eyes . bit dizzy, but best of look anyhow

It's okay, I'm going to use a timestamp to control the file name.

And thanks a lot Kevin

I would use a system like this to check weather the file exists. $file = the file name. $extention = .gif/.png or what ever-

function checkfile( $file, $extention ) {
    $rand = rand( "1000", "100000" );
    $filefull = "http://downloadelite.net/files/" . $file . $rand . $extension;
    if ( file_exists ( $filefull ) ) {
        checkfile( $file, $extension );
    }
    else {
        return $filefull;
    }
} 

Then save the file as what ever is returned

Nice idea, will fall back on this is anything should go wrong.
Only thing I would need to add is the 'echo' tag to show text to the user.

[Dentafrice]

Using that would be too slow.

    public function randomFilename() {
        $rand = time();
        $rand2 = rand();
        $rand3 = rand() + time() - $rand2;
        $rand3 = floor( $rand3 );
        $rand = sha1( $rand );
        $rand = substr( $rand, 10, 10 );
        $string = "$rand2$rand$rand3";
        $rand = substr( $string, 5, 15 );
        return $rand;
    }

The system is fully fledged now!
File names include the first 4 characters of the file, then a random number assortment!

It won't allow any files at all and the files dir no longer has an index.

Whoops, sorted now, moved to a new server, and the Upload Code was missing.
Going to fix directory index soon.
