After learning a bit more PHP, I thought I'd set myself a challenge up. I'm creating a colouring book for Wacintaki which works like this:

-- User draws Picture
-- User clicks to submit the image and adds keywords, etc. which are added to the oekakidta table (I added some new fields). I then make it pending ("1" my new "pending" field)
-- Then, an admin looks up all the pending images, and has 2 options: "accept" or "Reject"
-- I've coded up reject to delete the lineart and notify the user

Next up is to code the "accept" function. It shoudl work like this:

I can just set up a bunch of variables for the orignal file and insert the most necessary ones into a brand new table, which will be quite easy to do.

But I need to copy (not move please) lets say, x.png, x.jpg (if avaliable) and x.pch from the directory /picture/ to the directory /colorinbook/, as well as generating filename for it such as lineart????? (where ? is a random number) in teh new directory. What PHP function will allow be to do that? I tried doing a search on google but found nothing. I've got GD library installed if that's needed too.

Also, what could I do if that function fails for soem reason (server timeout for example)? I pressume php would throw an error message and terminate there?

Thanks for your help. :3
