As we all know wordpress stores your uploaded files (for me,it's just JPG files) in a folder named "uploads" under "wp-content". Files are separated into folders based on year and month.
Now i want to copy every file from every folder into a single folder on another server (for some purposes). I want to know, does wordpress rename duplicate files? is it possible that my files be overwritten on the new server?
If yes, how can i avoid this? is there a way to make wordpress rename files before storing them?
You can scan your uploaded file folder and you have to options:
1.- Set a random name for each file
2.- Set a name convention including path and file name, for example: my_path_my_filename.jpg
By the way your file wont be overwritten cause is another server
This question seems about export/import...
Check exported XML (WordPress eXtended RSS file format), you can download all media URLs at <wp:attachment_url> tag... Use any XML parser.
Example without parser, at terminal:
cat exportedSite.xml | grep wp:attachment_url
will list all URLs. Each parsed URL can be downloaded by curl or wget.
If you whant to restore the XML backup, change (only) the URLs of the wp:attachment_url tags by the new repo URLs

I have a recursive function which generates about 200.txt files. I am running this application on a local server.
Basically, the front end just has a file upload field, which you just choose a .csv, which it then generates all the .txt files from that, but rather than saving them on the wamp server, is it possible to save them in a specific location?
Example, if I put another field in my front end called 'fileLocation', and the user types in the pathname.
Obviously i'd have to check if it's a directory etc, but is this possible to say save all the files on:
/Volumes/computer/Users/username/Desktop/test/
I'm not sure where to proceed with this.
No, is not possible to access computer files this way by using a localhost. You could zip all files and make the browser download them. Like is described here
I have lots of backup files in my FTP.
The file name like : index.php.bk-2013-12-27
I want to back up those files to the folder named /backup/
so inside of my httpdocs folder looks like this.
index.php
backup/index.php.bk.2013-12-27
the following both methods are fine to done this.
01. if any file contain name .bk that should be backed up automatically to the folder backup
or
02.
create a text file named backup_move.text that file contains the
paths of files that need to be copied and placed it into the httpdocs folder.
then the php script extract those file path from the
backup_move.text and sync the files to the folder named backup
How can I do this with some php coding.?
Any help will be very much appreciated.
It can be done (Both solutions).
But you need to tell if the solution (01) need to be recursive or Not. I suppose you know php has got a "time" to run (standard are 60 seconds), so you know that the file you need to backup cannot require more then 55 seconds to get a backup.
You can try and use the next link, it will backup completly a site, db and file and put it into a zip file. It need to be configured a little, but it can help.

I have 16631 files hosted in a webserver, 2719 of them are text files that contains a list of specific files located on the server.
Using PHP, is possible to create a ZIP for each text file?
could be the text file name as ZIP file name?
I want to keep the same directory structure in the ZIP file.
Thanks in advance.
Taking the suggestion from Jeff Hines, you could use the ZipArchive class to create the zip.
In Pseudo code
Get List of Text Files in your folder
Read Text file and get list of files to add to zip
Using ZipArchive add each listed file to your new zip file.
Write flag to specify you've done this file.
You might need to run it on 10 files at a time since it may time out.
Is there any way to upload multiple files using a single file?...basically i want to upload multiple pdf files at once, using one single file that contains the path to each one of the pdf files...and store the information to mysql database...
PS: i dont want to merge all the files into 1 huge pdf...i want each 1 of pdf file to be uploaded to server dir at once and then store the file info to database eg. path, file info, filename for later use..
In order for a file to be uploaded, the user has to select that file manually. It's a security measure (otherwise websites could examine arbitrary files on your computer without your knowledge, which would be bad).
No - Because it would break the Javascript sandbox model (i.e. would be a security problem).
For security concern, it's hard to do this by javascript, which means you will have the access to others local files.
Why not just pack them up into a zip file then unzip on the sever side?
Not sure if this is possible or not?
I need contents of a file directory from another server in order to make a photogallery on another server.
Let's say I have a Folder on server1 named "folderName1" and the contents in the folder are images, like:
2005-14-05-this-that.jpg
2005-14-06-this-that.jpg
2005-14-07-this-that.jpg
2005-14-08-this-that.jpg
2005-14-09-this-that.jpg....
In order to make use this gallery script, I need to get a text file with this information on it.. Some folders I have 1000's of photos in them and it takes to long to write them all down..
Wondering if there is a shortcut to GET all contents from a folder and spit them out in a text file??
Thanks!!
http://php.net/manual/en/function.readdir.php
place a script on server1 (perhaps in each directory that has photo's) called 'imagelist.php'. This script loops all files according to the function I placed above and echoes every image on it's own line.
Then server2 could request this file using file_get_contents() and loop everyline and use the filenames to create a gallery.
If the server containing the images is in your control, you can have a PHP script list out all the image names by using readdir() function. Then you call this script from the other server and read/parse all the files names.
If you dont control the server hosting the files then this is not really possible unless they have directory listing enabled on that images directory.
