Are there any best practices to follow when saving uploaded images with a different name in a specific folder?

When saving uploaded images with a different name in a specific folder, it is important to follow best practices to ensure the security and organization of the files. One common approach is to generate a unique filename for each uploaded image to prevent overwriting existing files and to avoid naming conflicts. Additionally, storing the images in a specific folder helps keep the file structure organized and makes it easier to manage and access the images.

// Get the uploaded file
$uploadedFile = $_FILES['image'];

// Generate a unique filename
$filename = uniqid() . '_' . $uploadedFile['name'];

// Specify the folder to save the image
$uploadDirectory = 'uploads/';

// Move the uploaded file to the specified folder with the new filename
move_uploaded_file($uploadedFile['tmp_name'], $uploadDirectory . $filename);
