this is the function i am using to upload the file

function UploadFile($File) {

$this->File = $File;

$this->File_Name = strtolower($this->File['name']);

$SQL_Query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM files WHERE file_name =
'$this->File_Name'");
$Records = mysql_num_rows($SQL_Query);



$arr = split("\.",$this->File['name']);

if($Records > 0){


$dst_file_name = $this->GenerateUniqueID();

$this->File['name'] =
$this->File['name'].$dst_file_name[1].$dst_file_name[5];
$this->File['name'] .= ".".$arr[count($arr)-1];

}
$this->File_Ext = $arr[count($arr)-1];

$dest_dir = 'files';
$dest = $dest_dir . '/' .$this->File['name'];
$r = move_uploaded_file($this->File['tmp_name'], $dest);
$this->File_Name = $this->File['name'];
chmod("files/".$this->File_Name, 777);

}


the partition the server on is Fat32
