When handling uploaded files in PHP, the $_FILES array holds a variable:
$_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']
The tmp_name is guaranteed to be unique within the folder where the
temporary uploaded files are stored. You could strip the filename
portion of that out and use it in your destination folder.
For more details on file uploads and the temp folder handling, see the
entry under Features/Handling file uploads in the manual.
Or alternately, you can use the php function tempname, detailed under
Filesystem Functions in the manual.
