jQuery File Upload by bluimp, how to replace instead of renaming

First of all the jQuery plugin can be found here:

https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload

I'm using the PHP-version of the script and I'm trying to replace images that has the same name instead of renaming them.

I think I've found the functions that do the renaming, but the edits I tried do not work. 

  protected function upcount_name_callback($matches) {
        $index = isset($matches[1]) ? intval($matches[1]) + 1 : 1;
        $ext = isset($matches[2]) ? $matches[2] : '';
        return ' ('.$index.')'.$ext;
    }

    protected function upcount_name($name) {
        return preg_replace_callback(
            '/(?:(?: \(([\d]+)\))?(\.[^.]+))?$/',
            array($this, 'upcount_name_callback'),
            $name,
            1
        );
    }

Any suggestions? I've searched for this all over the place but to no avail.

Link to the php class that does the upload: https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload/blob/master/server/php/upload.class.php

Any suggestions?

Edit:

I've tried to just return null on these functions, but that just hangs the script, probably because it doesn't know what to do if the filename is the same.

you can also use overwrite as an option like this:

$options = array(
  'overwrite' => $overwrite
);
$upload_handler = new UploadHandler($options);

in UploadHandler.php : add the default parameter

    function __construct($options = null,...){
            ...
            'overwrite' => false,
            ...
    }

then replace get_file_name() function by

    protected function get_file_name($file_path, $name, $size, $type, $error,
            $index, $content_range) {
        $name = $this->trim_file_name($file_path, $name, $size, $type, $error,
            $index, $content_range);
        if($this->options['overwrite'])
            return $name;
        else
            return $this->get_unique_filename(
                $file_path,
                $this->fix_file_extension($file_path, $name, $size, $type, $error,
                    $index, $content_range),
                $size,
                $type,
                $error,
                $index,
                $content_range
            );
    }

You can alter their PHP server side script to have files overwritten instead of creating a new unique filename. Just alter upload handler class function get_file_name:

Original function:

 protected function get_file_name($file_path, $name, $size, $type, $error,
        $index, $content_range) {
    $name = $this->trim_file_name($file_path, $name, $size, $type, $error,
        $index, $content_range);
    return $this->get_unique_filename(
        $file_path,
        $this->fix_file_extension($file_path, $name, $size, $type, $error,
            $index, $content_range),
        $size,
        $type,
        $error,
        $index,
        $content_range
    );
}

alter it to this:

protected function get_file_name($file_path, $name, $size, $type, $error,
            $index, $content_range) {
        $name = $this->trim_file_name($file_path, $name, $size, $type, $error,
            $index, $content_range);
        return $name;
    }

This way existing file will get overwritten if the uploaded file-name is same as the existing file on your server.

Use this custom function in file index.php require UploadHandler.php

protected function trim_file_name($file_path, $name, $size, $type, $error,
            $index, $content_range) {

    // Remove path information and dots around the filename, to prevent uploading
    // into different directories or replacing hidden system files.
    // Also remove control characters and spaces (\x00..\x20) around the filename:
    $name = trim(basename(stripslashes(unique_custom_file_name)), ".\x00..\x20");
    // Use a timestamp for empty filenames:
    if (!$name) {
        $name = str_replace('.', '-', microtime(true));
    }
    return $name;
}
