Upload multiple files at the same time without a duplicate in Laravel

I use this code to upload multiple files together in Laravel. However, all name files get duplicated. Please guide me.

if (is_array($files) || is_object($files)) {
    foreach ($files as $file) {
        $name = time().'.'.$file->getClientOriginalExtension();
        $file->move(public_path('uploadmusic'), $name);

        PostPhoto::create([
            'post_id' => $post->id,
            'filename' => $name
        ]);
    }
}

The precision of time() is only a second - not enough time to make time() report a different value when assigning $name in your loop for each file.

Append something else, like a call to \Illuminate\Support\Str::random() to get each name to be unique.

Depending on requirements, you might consider omitting the timestamp from the filename altogether and use something like md_file() instead.

$name = implode('.', [
    md5_file($file->getPathname()),
    $file->getClientOriginalExtension()
]);

This can also help keep duplicate files off of your storage device.
