If I set a variable as follows:
$randNum = md5(time());
and use that to create:
$tempFileName = $randNum.'_temp.'.$type;
and then, later in the script:
$newFileName = $randNum.'_new.'.$type;
Will it be generating a new random number the second time around or will $randNum
value be the same as the 1st?
The $randnum value will be the same as the first. If in doubt just test it:
$randNum = md5(time());
echo $randNum;
sleep(5);// sleep for 5 seconds
echo $randNum;
The values will be the same.
Try this,
$newFileName = $randNum.'_new.'.$type;
instead of
$newFileName == $randNum.'_new.'.$type;
output:
87bc7ff76220f988dd191bd804482bff_temp.
87bc7ff76220f988dd191bd804482bff_new.
