[php]$now = time();
while(file_exists($uploadFilename = $uploadsDirectory.$now.’-’.$_FILES[$fieldname][‘name’]))

$now++;

Disable safe_mode or add /usr/local/apache/htdocs to your safe paths (in your php.ini, open_basedir none or open_basedir /usr/local/apache:/home:/usr/lib/php:/tmp). Or just upgrade to PHP 5.4 to get rid of the aberrations that all the safe_mode family of functions represent.
