I have to agree with Randy on this. uniqid() or UUID are the things to use if you want a unique hash.

And for the question of the length i wonder why it needs to be 5 characters? Do people have to remember the filename?

Michael you use the database to check the uniqueness. Why not check the uniqueness per directory. Using the database also limits the script to a certain framework or database abstraction layer. I think it's better to keep the script to the level of file structure, this way it's more reusable.
