It's uncanny how identical this question is to one I asked a while back: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/880467/renaming-a-set-of-files-to-001-002-on-linux (though technically not a dupe). — DisgruntledGoat, Mar 25 '10 at 13:09

$files = glob("*.jpg");
$num=count($files);
$i=1;
foreach ( $files as $filename) {
    $n=str_pad($i, $num ,"0",STR_PAD_LEFT);
    $newfile = $n.".jpg";
    rename($filename,$newfile);
    $i+=1;
}

like

 foreach(glob("uploads/*jpg") as $n => $file) {
    $new = dirname($file) . '/' . sprintf("%04d", $n + 1) . '.jpg';
    rename($file, $new);
 }
