    I have this code to take care of my files I upload on my server. But sometimes files get skipped and won't upload. How can I in that case retry the script to give the file a new shot?
    move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], "../media/uploads/". $myVariable. ".jpg");

    Your best bet is to simply check if the file exists, and then redirect them back to the upload page if it failed.

    this should do the trick
    
if (file_exists($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'])){
    move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], "../media/uploads/".$myVariable. ".jpg");
    } else {
    header('location: upload.php');
    exit();
    }
