I want to move a file from one directory to another directory using PHP rename() function. But the function is not working. every time it display Not done. Your suggestions please.
Here is my code
<?php
error_reporting(1);
error_reporting('On');
include 'includes/config.php'; // database configuration file
$site_path = "http://www.website.com/";
$file_name = "images800466507.jpg";
$currentPath = 'TempImages/'.$file_name; // ( file permission : 777 )
$newPath = 'ImagesNew/'.$file_name; // ( file permission : 755 )
if( rename($site_path.$currentPath , $site_path.$newPath ) )
echo 'done';
else
echo 'not done';
?>
You need to get your real path, for me real path /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/phptest but you can define ABSPATH like define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');
Complete code:
error_reporting(1);
error_reporting('On');
define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');
include 'includes/config.php'; // database configuration file
$file_name = "images800466507.jpg";
$currentPath = ABSPATH.'/TempImages/'.$file_name; // ( file permission : 777 )
$newPath = ABSPATH.'/ImagesNew/'.$file_name; // ( file permission : 755 )
if( rename($currentPath ,$newPath ) )
echo 'done';
else
echo 'not done';
I tested and it worked for me.
Perhaps using the full local path might do the trick
$filename = 'images800466507.jpg';
$currentpath = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'TempImages' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $filename;
$targetpath = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'ImagesNew' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $filename;
echo realpath( $currentpath ) && rename($currentpath,$targetpath) ? 'done' : 'not done';
Does the source file exist at the location specified?
if( !file_exists( $currentpath ) ) echo 'Bad Foo - ' . $currentpath . ' not found!';
Add / before TempImages/ and ImagesNew/ directory like /TempImages/ and /ImagesNew/
<?php
error_reporting(1);
error_reporting('On');
include 'includes/config.php'; // database configuration file
//$site_path = "http://www.website.com/";
$file_name = "images800466507.jpg";
$currentPath = '/TempImages/'.$file_name; // ( file permission : 777 )
$newPath = '/ImagesNew/'.$file_name; // ( file permission : 755 )
if( rename($currentPath , $newPath ) )
echo 'done';
else
echo 'not done';
?>
more details rename function http://php.net/manual/en/function.rename.php
Getting the real path can help:
$file = realpath($filename);
but it sounds like it could be a permissions issue or an SELinux issue also. You will need apache to be the group on the files in question, and the files should be writeable by the group.
Also, if you have SELinux enabled, you will need to use
semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t "/path/to/images/folder(/.*)?"
and
restorecon -R -v /path/to/images/folder

I keep having - I think permission issues - with unzipping a file (this part goes OK) and moving content to write folder.
I am running simple code:
$zip = new ZipArchive( );
$x = $zip->open( $file );
if ( $x === true ) {
$zip->extractTo( $target );
$zip->close( );
unlink( $file );
rmove( __DIR__ . '/' . $target . '/dist', __DIR__ );
} else {
die( "There was a problem. Please try again!" );
}
where rmove() is a simple recursive function that iterates thru content and applies rename() to each file.
Problem is that unzipping goes well, files are copied, but not moved - delete from a temporary folder. I read so far that could be caused by not having a write permission to unzipped files at the time of renaming.
How to control those permissions at the time of unzipping?
Update: content of rmove():
function rmove( $src, $dest ) {
// If source is not a directory stop processing
if ( ! is_dir( $src ) ) return false;
// If the destination directory does not exist create it
if ( ! is_dir( $dest ) ) {
if ( ! mkdir( $dest ) ) {
// If the destination directory could not be created stop processing
return false;
}
}
// Open the source directory to read in files
$i = new DirectoryIterator( $src );
foreach( $i as $f ) {
if ( $f->isFile( ) ) {
echo $f->getRealPath( ) . '<br/>';
rename( $f->getRealPath( ), "$dest/" . $f->getFilename( ) );
} else if ( ! $f->isDot( ) && $f->isDir( ) ) {
rmove( $f->getRealPath( ), "$dest/$f" );
unlink( $f->getRealPath( ) );
}
}
unlink( $src );
}
As far as I'm aware ZipArchive::extractTo doesn't set any special write/delete permissions, so you should have full access to the extracted files.
The issue with your code is the rmove function. You're trying to remove directories with unlink, but unlink removes files. You should use rmdir to remove directories.
If we fix that issue, your rmove function works fine.
function rmove($src, $dest) {
// If source is not a directory stop processing
if (!is_dir($src)) {
return false;
}
// If the destination directory does not exist create it
if (!is_dir($dest) && !mkdir($dest)) {
return false;
}
// Open the source directory to read in files
$contents = new DirectoryIterator($src);
foreach ($contents as $f) {
if ($f->isFile()) {
echo $f->getRealPath() . '<br/>';
rename($f->getRealPath(), "$dest/" . $f->getFilename());
} else if (!$f->isDot() && $f->isDir()) {
rmove($f->getRealPath(), "$dest/$f");
}
}
rmdir($src);
}
You don't have to remove every subfolder in the loop, the rmdir at the end will remove all folders, since this is a recursive function.
If you still can't remove the contents of the folder, then you may not have sufficient permissions. I don't think that's very likely, but in that case you could try chmod.
I just wonder about the $target.'/dist' directory. I assume that the 'dist' directory is coming from the archive. Having pointed out that I can see the 'rmove' function is prone to copy a file to a destination directory before it is created. Your code assumes that the directory will supersede the files in the iterator. If the file path supersedes the directory the destination directory won't exist to copy the file.
I would suggest you an alternative function to your custom written recursive 'rmove' function, which is the RecursiveDirectoryIterator.
http://php.net/manual/en/class.recursivedirectoryiterator.php
Let me simplify your code with RecursiveDirectoryIterator as follows
$directory = new \RecursiveDirectoryIterator( __DIR__ . '/' . $target . '/dist', RecursiveDirectoryIterator::SKIP_DOTS);
$iterator = new \RecursiveIteratorIterator($directory);
foreach ($iterator as $f) {
if($f->isFile()){
if(!empty($iterator->getSubpath()))
#mkdir(__DIR__."/" . $iterator->getSubpath(),0755,true);
rename($f->getPathname(), __DIR__."/" . $iterator->getSubPathName());
}
}
Please check to see whether you still get the permission error.
So I am trying to set up path for my pdf files that are stored in a folder structure. The file that has to be selected depends on the user input.
I want to set up first the absolute path and then a folder pattern.
The folder where I have stored my files is:
C:\Apache24\htdocs\archivedb\Tourenfahrer\2017\5
The last three folders changes as per user input.
I have setup my root directory in my config.php like this:
define( 'ROOT_DIR', dirname(__FILE__) );
Now in my php file I am recieving my variables, which will be my folder names to search for the files.
<?php
require_once 'conf/config.php';
if (!empty($_REQUEST['magName'] && $_REQUEST['year'] && $_REQUEST['issue']
)) {
$magazineName = $_REQUEST['magName'];
$year = $_REQUEST['year'] ;
$issue = $_REQUEST['issue'] ;
}
Now Please tell how to access the respective folder using these variables?
and how can i set up a pattern with this using glob(); ?
Please try this
define('ROOT_DIR', dirname(__FILE__));
define('DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);
if (!empty($_REQUEST['magName'] && $_REQUEST['year'] && $_REQUEST['issue'])) {
$magazineName = $_REQUEST['magName'];
$year = $_REQUEST['year'];
$issue = $_REQUEST['issue'];
$dir = $magazineName . DS . $year . DS . $issue;
echo "<h3>Use scandir:</h3>";
$files = scandir(ROOT_DIR . DS . $dir);
foreach ($files as $file) {
echo basename($file) . "<br>";
}
echo "<h3>Use glob:</h3>";
foreach (glob($dir . DS . '*') as $filename) {
echo basename($filename) . "<br>";
}
}
I'm trying to delete a given file from a directory using PHP. Here is the code I've tried:
// Get the file name
$id = '61514';
// Get the folder path
$uploads_folder_dir = 'some/dir';
// Check if the directory exists
if ( ! file_exists( $uploads_folder_dir ) )
return false;
// Open the directory
if ( $dir = opendir( $uploads_folder_dir ) ) {
// Loop through each file in the directory
while ( false !== ( $file = readdir( $dir ) ) ) {
// Target the file to be deleted and delete. All files in folder are .png
if ( $file == ( $id . '.png' ) )
#unlink( $uploads_folder_dir . '/' . $file );
}
}
// Housekeeping
closedir( $dir );
#rmdir( $uploads_folder_dir );
Each time I run the code, the particular file I'm trying to delete is not deleted.
My guess is when I'm looping through the directory, my logic to find the file isn't working. I can confirm that file 61514.png is definitely in directory some/dir
Hoping someone can spot where I'm going wrong here?
First debug your file path is ok or not just by printing whole file path like
// Target the file to be deleted and delete. All files in folder are .png
if ( $file == ( $id . '.png' ) ){
echo $uploads_folder_dir . '/' . $file; die;
#unlink( $uploads_folder_dir . '/' . $file );
}
}
Why do you loop through the files? This one would be much easier:
// Get the file name
$id = '61514';
// Get the folder path
$uploads_folder_dir = 'some/dir';
// Check if the directory exists
if ( ! file_exists( $uploads_folder_dir ) )
return false;
unlink("$uploads_folder_dir/$id.png");
// Housekeeping
#rmdir( $uploads_folder_dir );
#unlink -> use unlink and if you don't see permission denied problem, the file and "dir" should be removed.
I am looking for a way to list the names of every folder in a directory and their path in PHP
Thank you
What you are referring to is not a page from WAMPP, it is a default setting to show files and folders on any (if not most) web servers... This is usually switched off by the web server config, or .htaccess files
You are looking for some PHP code to do a similar thing, the following PHP functions are what you will need to look into, read the pages and view the examples to understand how to use them... Do not ignore "Warning" or "Important" messages on these pages from php.net:
opendir - Creates a handle to a directory for reading
readdir - Reads files/folders inside a dir
rmdir - Deletes a folder (must be empty)
mkdir - Creates a folder
Here is an example:
<?php
$folder = "myfolder";
if ($dhandle = opendir($folder)) {
while ($file = readdir($dhandle)) {
// Ignore . and ..
if ($file<>'.' && $file<>'..')
// if it's a folder, echo [F]
if (is_dir("$folder/$file")) echo "[F] $file<br>"; else
echo "$file<br>";
}
closedir($dhandle);
}
?>
Important
Remember that on a linux OS, your Apache/PHP must have access to the folder in question before it can write/delete files and folders... Read up on chmod, chown and chgrp
use the following function to get the path of the files/folders
<?php
function getDirectory( $path = '.', $level = 0 ){
$ignore = array( 'cgi-bin', '.', '..' );
// Directories to ignore when listing output. Many hosts
// will deny PHP access to the cgi-bin.
$dh = #opendir( $path );
// Open the directory to the handle $dh
while( false !== ( $file = readdir( $dh ) ) ){
// Loop through the directory
if( !in_array( $file, $ignore ) ){
// Check that this file is not to be ignored
$spaces = str_repeat( ' ', ( $level * 4 ) );
// Just to add spacing to the list, to better
// show the directory tree.
if( is_dir( "$path/$file" ) ){
// Its a directory, so we need to keep reading down...
echo "<strong>$spaces $file</strong><br />";
getDirectory( "$path/$file", ($level+1) );
// Re-call this same function but on a new directory.
// this is what makes function recursive.
} else {
echo "$spaces $file<br />";
// Just print out the filename
}
}
}
closedir( $dh );
// Close the directory handle
}
getDirectory( "." );
?>
There is an simple solution to this problem :(if you are using linux only )
you want list the names of every folder in a directory and their path in PHP .
you can use
find
command in conjuction with PHP's
exec();
function
the following snippet shows this
<?php
$startdir = "Some Directory" ; // the start directory whose sub directories along with path is needed
exec("find " . $startdir . " -type d " , $directories); // executes the command and stores the result in array $directory line by line
while(list($index,$dir) = each($directories) ) {
echo $dir."<br/>"; //lists directories one by one
}
?>
foot notes:
command ,
find dirname -type d
lists all the directories and subdirectories under folder startdir
This is a php code save this as index.php and put it in your web root directory.

I have an absolute path of (verified working)
$target_path = "F:/xampplite/htdocs/host_name/p/$email.$ext";
for use in
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['ufile']['tmp_name'], $target_path
However when I move to a production server I need a relative path:
If /archemarks is at the root directory of your server, then this is the correct path. However, it is often better to do something like this:
$new_path = dirname(__FILE__) . "/../images/" . $new_image_name;
This takes the directory in which the current file is running, and saves the image into a directory called images that is at the same level as it.
In the above case, the currently running file might be:
/var/www/archemarks/include/upload.php
The image directory is:
/var/www/archemarks/images
For example, if /images was two directory levels higher than the current file is running in, use
$new_path = dirname(__FILE__) . "/../../images/" . $new_image_name;
$target_path = __DIR__ . "/archemarks/p/$email.$ext";
$target_path = "archemarks/p/$email.$ext";
notice the first "/"
/ => absolute, like /home
no "/" => relative to current folder
That is an absolute path. Relative paths do not begin with a /.
If this is the correct path for you on the production server, then PHP may be running in a chroot. This is a server configuration issue.
Assuming the /archemarks directory is directly below document root - and your example suggests that it is -, you could make the code independent of a specific OS or environment. Try using
$target_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/archemarks/p/$email.$ext";
as a generic path to your target location. Should work fine. This notation is also independent of the location of your script, or the current working directory.
Below is code for a php file uploader I wrote with a relative path.
Hope it helps. In this case, the upload folder is in the same dir as my php file. you can go up a few levels and into a different dir using ../
<?php
if(function_exists("date_default_timezone_set") and function_exists("date_default_timezone_get"))

$target_path = "uploads/" . date("Y/m/d") . "/" . session_id() . "/";
if(!file_exists( $target_path )){
if (!mkdir($target_path, 0755, true))
