Use a random hash value to obfuscate a user file upload directory

/**
 * Add a random hash to the user upload directory.
 * 
 * Change the default name of the user upload directory.
 * This example completely removes the user ID value from the
 * directory name, leaving it as a completely random string.
 * 
 * Change $hash_len to set the length. Example creates a random
 * string 36 characters long.

         * If there is no existing hash, we need to create one.
         * 
         * To make sure it is unique without having to do a for/while loop
         * while checking the db, we can use the user ID in the string.
         * Since the random hash is already long, inserting the user ID
         * does not degrade the randomness.  Theoretically, one could just
         * add the user ID without this step, but I like to have everything
         * being the same length so that a one digit user ID results in the 
         * same directory name length as a four digit user ID.
         *
         * This example makes it user ID + hash.  For example, where the 
         * user ID is "234", the resulting direcotry would be like this:
         * 
         *     234LXd2B8SE31u19TAS0SnwQW6ji
         * 
         * For ultimate randomness in this example, consider switching to
         * add the user ID to the end rather than the beginning.  I did it
         * at the beginning to allow a user with file system access to be
         * able to browse the directory by user ID if they understood the
         * directory name construction being done here.
