getting some file name that doesnīt exist in dir
Hello iīm trying to rename a uploaded file to the highest number in a directory that gathers all the images...

Here it is:

PHP Code:
 $picname = 1000;
while(file_exists("userpics/$picname".".jpg")){
  $picname+1
} 

Ok, i want the files start at 1000 and it checks wheither itīs a file is 1000.jpg if it is a file that is 1000 i inchrement it by one so the uploaded pics get 1001.jpg

But i canīt finish this function and i donīt know how to rename the file, and when i got a number that isnīt in the directory i have a another function
move_uploaded_file($file, $picname);

so the new file should be uploaded to the directory to 1001.jpg ..

does that really increment the variable?
try $yourVariable++ or $yourVariable+=1 -- not $yourVariable+1
