I looked high and low for a simple way to rename files as they are uploaded to prevent users from overwriting each others files. Below is the script I came up with.

<?php

	foreach( $_FILES["screenshots"]["error"] as $key => $error ) {
	
		if( $error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK ) {
			$tmp_name = $_FILES["screenshots"]["tmp_name"][$key];
			$original_name = $_FILES["screenshots"]["name"][$key];
			$tmp_array = preg_split( "/\\\/",$tmp_name );
			$file_name = $tmp_array[count($array)-1];
			$extension = preg_replace( "/(.*)\.([a-z]+)$/","$2",$original_name );
			$new_name = preg_replace( "/(.*)\.([a-z]+)$/","$1.$extension",$file_name );
			move_uploaded_file( $tmp_name,"./screenshots/$new_name" );
		}
	
	}

?>

I started with the generic multiple file upload script in the documentation above and worked from there.
