Example

I need upload file something.png into directory /images.

If it is necessary to not overwrite existing files, you need to generate unique filenames.

Now it's simple!

$filename = Unique::get('something.png', '/images'); // return 'something.png'

And what if directory contains files something.png and for example, also something-1.png?
