It would be better if this script would use no autoincrement IDs. This makes it easy to "sniff" for images uploaded by others. I would suggest to use an MD5 sum (of the date and time for example) or even better a real random string encoded with BASE64.

So why don't you explain how to do this?
$id = md5(rand(1,99990000));

That's really no help.
Sure it is, although just using plain MD5 would be easier...
As I said before, there's no point in making users see http://imagehost.com/view/0478a7e98a7b098eabe8a9e78bea9 or something as their URL, that's just so unnatural.
I think autoincrement is quite fine. Anyways, Google ignores URLs with a bunch of characters in the URL.
