PHP rename folder in directory - php

Question

How can i get $filename to be one specific path? Not a specific folder?
I want to rename several folders in folder named output.
I tried this:
$fileName = '/path/folder/output';
Here is my original code:
<?php
$fileName = '351437-367628';
$newNametemp = explode("-",$fileName);
if(is_array($newNametemp)){
$newName = $newNametemp[0];
print_r($newName); // lar navnet stå att etter første bindestrek
rename($fileName, $newName);
}
?>

Answer 1

$file_path = "uploads/";
$input = $_POST['name_of _the_folder_You WIsh']; // this is the new folder you'll create
$file_path .= $input . '/';
if (!file_exists($file_path)) {
mkdir($file_path);
}
chmod($file_path, 0777);
$file_path = $file_path . basename( $_FILES['uploaded_file']['name']);
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded_file']['tmp_name'], $file_path)) {
echo "success";
} else{
echo "fail";
}

Here is a sample script that does (I think) what you're looking for. It loops through a directory, renaming all subdirectories.
Save code to demo.php, and chmod +x demo.php && ./demo.php.
If you'd prefer an object-oriented approach, or need any changes let me know and I'll modify the code.
#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
//root directory
$outputDir = '/path/folder/output';
//get all subdirectories in the root directory
$dirs = scandir($outputDir);
if ($dirs === FALSE) {
echo "scandir() failed.\n";
exit(1);
}
//loop through each subdirectory and rename.
foreach($dirs as $dir) {
$newName = "${dir}.tmp"; //rename as needed; here we append ".tmp" to the subdirectory.
$success = rename($dir, $newName);
if (!$success)
echo "Rename of $dir failed.\n"; //there was an error during rename, handle it.
}
