if (($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 90000000000000000000000000000000000) && in_array($extension, $allowedExts)){
    if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0){
        echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
    }else{
        echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
        echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
        echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
        echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br />";
        if (file_exists("upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"])){
            echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
        }else{
            move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
            "docmument_upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
            echo "Stored in: " . "docmument_upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];

Just change your line of code

From

move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
            "docmument_upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);

To 

$newFileName="newName".".".$extension;
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
            "docmument_upload/" . $newFileName);

$newFileName is the variable where you can create your new file name. Always care for overwriting issue , so try to make file name unique .

$extension is the variable what you are using to validate.

This will produce the desired results for you:

$ext = end((explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"])));
$filename = time(). rand(). "." . $ext;
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], "docmument_upload/" . $filename);

First of all you get the file extension using 

$temp = explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
$extension= end($temp);// file extension

Rename your file name as

$new_name=time().".".$extension;// new name with current timestamp
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],"docmument_upload/" .  $new_name);
