I found some online tutorial on how to upload image in laravel but I noticed they rename with timestamp the image before the save the file name in the database, my question for this why we should rename the image name with timestamp ? is this for security reason ?
Thank you
Its more of a practice.
Whatever the file name is we usually keep a record of it in our database and access it by it's id
.
But we can keep things steady if we rename them and bring them all to the same convention.
