Here is the code I use that works great. I had to write this since I could not find anything like it for PHP. It allows me to only include certain extensions and auto generates a version based on number of files to be stored as well as the total file size. This allows you to update files that are already stored but it will create a new version number and force a new download of the files. Hope it works for you!
