Hi

I have made a small work around for the problem of images being named
in a non-unique way:


    $url = $img->saveWebImage($gAppletImgFmt, 0, 0, -1);
    //added by Tim to ensure images have unique names
    mt_srand((double) microtime() * 1000000);
    $randval = mt_rand();
    $uniqueURL = substr($url,0,-4).$randval.".png";
    rename ("/tmp/$url", "/tmp/$uniqueURL");
    $url=$uniqueURL;

    //end of changes by Tim

I hope that proves useful to anyone else encountering the same problem
:-)

Tim
