phUploader - Renamed files

[-=Powlo_U.K.=-]

Hi all, Ive uploaded the script and appears to be just what i was looking for, BUT, for some reason when a file gets uploaded the script changes it name. Ie. I upload a file called 'game_trackmaniaGC.tar' but the script changes its name to '1210873713.tar'. Whats that all about?

Like i say this this script is just what im looking for but i really do need the correct file names to be kept.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

My guess is primarily to keep people from overwriting files.

If you upload a file named game_trackmaniaGC.tar, then I come along an upload a different file with the same name, chances are my copy will overwrite your copy.
So the script generates a random string for the name, thus insuring that the chances of files getting overwritten are next to none.

Set $random_name in phUploader.php to false and it wont change the file names..
