Hello

I am having trouble making PHP web page that uploads an image file and
moves it to a new file name. The problem occurs when the new filename
already exists.

I am using move_uploaded_file().

The fist time an image file is uploaded and moved to a new file name
there is no problem, however if I decide to upload a different image
file, when the script tries to move this to the same filename (which
is what I want as I want the uploaded file to have a specific name) it
doesn't work and a couple of warning messages are shown one saying
'failed to open stream: No such file or directory in...' and the other
saying 'Unable to move '...\tmp\php42.tmp' to 'htdocs/.../images/
newimagename.jpg' ...'

I have looked at www.w3schools.com and it says 'Note: If the
destination file already exists, it will be overwritten.' however I
think the problem is that this is not happening?

Any help very much appreciated

Thanks

AM
