IMCE file upload dynamic path problem
This probably isn't the best solution, however it is working for me at the moment.  

Using the following php in the IMCE directory path it generates the same random number for 5 minutes.  So I can have the directory structure user/Y-m-d-H-[random number]

php: function random() {  $seed = floor(time()/(60*5)); srand($seed); $item = rand(0,100); return $item; }  return $user-&gt;name.'/'.date("Y-m-d-H").'-'.random();
