If uniqueness is an issue,
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.md5-file.php">http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.md5-file.php</a> may be good in
conjunction with a sanitized file name.<br>
<br>
For one site with public uploads, I use [sanitized and shortened file
name]-[md5 of file].[ext], which ensures duplicate files will overwrite
each other but otherwise you don't have to really worry about the file
names being unique.<br>
<br>
Using [md5 of file].[ext] only means much less helpful file names when
downloaded and a much larger (but still small) chance of collisions.<br>

and that approach doesn't guarantee a file name that is within a
certain length, where as the md5 does. I agree that his approach using
those two lines is a nicer cleaner approach if you don't have to worry
about file name length.

$arr = parse_url($image_url);<br>
$filename = basename($arr['path']);<br>
<br>
This code solves the problem by removing the query and fragments of the
url.<br>
Does anyone know of any better way to handle this? Can anyone point out
any<br>
issues with this code?<br>

I think this is the better way. I don't find anything in the Drupal
API to help.<br>
