I have the code bellow where I'm creating a new folder and copying some files from another folder, and it's working fine.
Now I need to go on each php file inside new folder and change the word "empty" by some word passed through $_POST["variable"].
Maybe by str_replace but I'm stuck in the logic.
Thanks in advance!
if (!file_exists("/home//public_html/new_conf_folder/"))
{
mkdir("/home//public_html/new_conf_folder/", 0755, true);
$source = "/home/public_html/conf_folder/";
$destination = "/home/public_html/new_conf_folder";
$directory = opendir($source);
while(($file = readdir($directory)) != false)
{
copy($source.'/' .$file, $destination.'/'.$file);
}
}
Try this code its working for me:
// file_process.php
$destination="./"; // Current Directory
if (file_exists($destination))
{
$directory = opendir($destination);
while(($file = readdir($directory)) != false)
{
//echo $file."<br/>";
$contents=file_get_contents($file);
$contents=str_replace("\"empty\"",$_POST['variable'],$contents);
//$contents=str_replace("\"empty\"",$_POST['variable'],$contents); // use this if the word with qouts
//echo $contents;
$bytes_written=file_put_contents($file,$contents);
if($bytes_written>0)echo "File [$file] has been successfully processed.";
else echo "Process Failed.";
}
}
I'm having difficulty in copying an image from one folder to another, now i have seen many articles and questions regarding this, none of them makes sense or work, i have also used copy function but its giving me an error. " failed to open stream: No such file or directory" i think the copy function is only for files. The image i wanna copy is present in the root directory. Can anybody help me please. What i am doing wrong here or is there any other way???
<?php
$pic="somepic.jpg";
copy($pic,'test/Uploads');
?>
You should write your code same as below :
<?php
$imagePath = "/var/www/projectName/Images/somepic.jpg";
$newPath = "/test/Uploads/";
$ext = '.jpg';
$newName = $newPath."a".$ext;
$copied = copy($imagePath , $newName);
if ((!$copied))
{
echo "Error : Not Copied";
}
else
{
echo "Copied Successful";
}
?>
You should have file name in destination like:
copy($pic,'test/Uploads/'.$pic);
For your code, it must be like this:
$pic="somepic.jpg";
copy($pic,'test/Uploads/'.$pic);
Or use function, like this:
$pic="somepic.jpg";
copy_files($pic,'test/Uploads');
function copy_files($file_path, $dest_path){
if (strpos($file_path, '/') !== false) {
$pathinfo = pathinfo($file_path);
$dest_path = str_replace($pathinfo['dirname'], $dest_path, $file_path);
}else{
$dest_path = $dest_path.'/'.$file_path;
}
return copy($pic, $dest_path);
}
I am facing a problem. I have some images stored in D://Images. I have to copy these images into D://Images/Modified. I tried but I did not get any output.
This is my code:
define("BASE_IMAGE_PATH","D:\\");
define("IMAGE_FOLDER_NAME","2014finalfour\\");
define("IMAGE_FOLDER_NAME_MODIFIED","modified");
define("IMAGE_File_Path",BASE_IMAGE_PATH.IMAGE_FOLDER_NAME);
define("IMAGE_File_Path_Modified", BASE_IMAGE_PATH.IMAGE_FOLDER_NAME.IMAGE_FOLDER_NAME_MODIFIED);
$srcdir=constant("IMAGE_File_Path");
$destdir=constant("IMAGE_File_Path_Modified");
echo $destdir;
if (!file_exists(IMAGE_File_Path_Modified))
{
mkdir(IMAGE_File_Path_Modified, 0777, true);
}
$srcdir=opendir($srcdir);
while($readFile = readdir($srcdir))
{
if($readFile != '.' && $readFile != '..')
{
if (!file_exists($readFile))
{
if(copy($srcdir . $readFile, $destdir . $readFile))
{
echo "Copy file";
}
else
{
echo "Canot Copy file";
}
}
}
}
closedir($srcdir);
Please help me to sought out it. It says it can not copy the file. copy() expects parameter 1 to be a valid path, resource given in C:\wamp\www\marcs\testmysql.php on line 3
You could use the copy() function :
copy('foo/test.php', 'bar/test.php');
example:
<?php
$file = 'images/folder/one.jpg';
$newfile = 'Images/folder/one_thumb.jpg';
if (!copy($file, $newfile)) {
echo "failed to copy";
}
Makes a copy of the file source to dest.
If the destination file already exists, it will be overwritten.
I have this code to read a file for preview, but the downside is I have to download the file first from cloud and read from it, but it's a waste of space so I want to delete it after viewing a certain file. Is there an automatic way of doing this? Or do I have to integrate it to a close button?
// Get the container we want to use
$container = $conn->get_container('mailtemplate');
//$filename = 'template1.zip';
// upload file to Rackspace
$object = $container->get_object($filename);
//var_dump($object);
//echo '<pre>' . print_r($object,true) . '</pre>';
$localfile = $dir.$filename;
//echo $localfile;
$object->save_to_filename($localfile);
if($_GET['preview'] == "true")
{
$dir = "../mailtemplates/";
$file1 = $_GET['tfilename'];
$file = $dir.$file1;
$file2 = "index.html";
$info = pathinfo($file);
$file_name = basename($file,'.'.$info['extension']);
$path = $file_name.'/'.$file2;
$zip = new ZipArchive();
$zip->open($file);
$fp = $zip->getStream($path);
if(!$fp)
{
exit("faileds\n");
$zip->close();
unlink($dir.$filename);
}
else
{
$stuff = stream_get_contents($fp);
echo $stuff;
$zip->close();
if($stuff != null)
{
unlink($dir.$filename);
}
}
}
else
{
unlink($dir.$filename);
}
You didn't google this did ya?
Try Unlink
Edit:
Taking a look at this code, $zip->open($file); <-- is where you open the file. The file variable is set by:
"../mailtemplates/" . basename($_GET['tfilename'], '.' . $info['extension']) . '/' . "index.html"
So you're grabbing a relative directory and grabbing a filename as a folder, and going to that folder /index.html. Here's an example:
if you're in c:\ testing and you go to ../mailtemplates/ you'll be in c:\mailtemplates and then you're looking at file test.php but you're removing the file extension, so you'll be opening the location c:\mailtemplates\test\index.html so you open up that html file and read it. Then, you're trying to delete c:\mailtemplates\test.php
can you explain how any of that makes sense to you? 'cause that seems very odd to me.
when moving one file from one location to another i use
rename('path/filename', 'newpath/filename');
how do you move all files in a folder to another folder? tried this one without result:
rename('path/*', 'newpath/*');
A slightly verbose solution:
// Get array of all source files
$files = scandir("source");
// Identify directories
$source = "source/";
$destination = "destination/";
// Cycle through all source files
foreach ($files as $file) {
if (in_array($file, array(".",".."))) continue;
// If we copied this successfully, mark it for deletion
if (copy($source.$file, $destination.$file)) {
$delete[] = $source.$file;
}
}
// Delete all successfully-copied files
foreach ($delete as $file) {
unlink($file);
}
Please try this solution, it's tested successfully ::
<?php
$files = scandir("f1");
$oldfolder = "f1/";
$newfolder = "f2/";
foreach($files as $fname) {
if($fname != '.' && $fname != '..') {
rename($oldfolder.$fname, $newfolder.$fname);
}
}
?>
An alternate using rename() and with some error checking:
$srcDir = 'dir1';
$destDir = 'dir2';
if (file_exists($destDir)) {
if (is_dir($destDir)) {
if (is_writable($destDir)) {
if ($handle = opendir($srcDir)) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
if (is_file($srcDir . '/' . $file)) {
rename($srcDir . '/' . $file, $destDir . '/' . $file);
}
}
closedir($handle);
} else {
echo "$srcDir could not be opened.\n";
}
} else {
echo "$destDir is not writable!\n";
}
} else {
echo "$destDir is not a directory!\n";
}
} else {
echo "$destDir does not exist\n";
}
tried this one?:
<?php
$oldfolderpath = "old/folder";
$newfolderpath = "new/folder";
rename($oldfolderpath,$newfolderpath);
?>
So I tried to use the rename() function as described and I kept getting the error back that there was no such file or directory. I placed the code within an if else statement in order to ensure that I really did have the directories created. It looked like this:
$tempDir = '/home/site/images/tmp/';
$permanentDir = '/home/site/images/' . $claimid; // this was stored above
mkdir($permanentDir,0775);
if(is_dir($permanentDir)){
echo $permanentDir . ' is a directory';
if(is_dir($tempDir)){
echo $tempDir . ' is a directory';
}else{
echo $tempDir . ' is not a directory';
}
}else{
echo $permanentDir . ' is not a directory';
}
rename($tempDir . "*", $permanentDir);
So when I ran the code again, it spit out that both paths were directories. I was stumped. I talked with a coworker and he suggested, "Why not just rename the temp directory to the new directory, since you want to move all the files anyway?"
Turns out, this is what I ended up doing. I gave up trying to use the wildcard with the rename() function and instead just use the rename() to rename the temp directory to the permanent one.
so it looks like this.
$tempDir = '/home/site/images/tmp/';
$permanentDir = '/home/site/images/' . $claimid; // this was stored above
mkdir($permanentDir,0775);
rename($tempDir, $permanentDir);
This worked beautifully for my purposes since I don't need the old tmp directory to remain there after the files have been uploaded and "moved".
Hope this helps. If anyone knows why the wildcard doesn't work in the rename() function and why I was getting the error stating above, please, let me know.
Move or copy the way I use it
function copyfiles($source_folder, $target_folder, $move=false) {
$source_folder=trim($source_folder, '/').'/';
$target_folder=trim($target_folder, '/').'/';
$files = scandir($source_folder);
foreach($files as $file) {
if($file != '.' && $file != '..') {
if ($move) {
rename($source_folder.$file, $target_folder.$file);
} else {
copy($source_folder.$file, $target_folder.$file);
}
}
}
}
function movefiles($source_folder, $target_folder) {
copyfiles($source_folder, $target_folder, $move=true);
}
try this:
rename('path/*', 'newpath/');
I do not see a point in having an asterisk in the destination
If the target directory doesn't exist, you'll need to create it first:
mkdir('newpath');
rename('path/*', 'newpath/');
As a side note; when you copy files to another folder, their last changed time becomes current timestamp. So you should touch() the new files.
... (some codes for directory looping) ...
if (copy($source.$file, $destination.$file)) {
$delete[] = $source.$file;
$filetimestamp = filemtime($source.$file);
touch($destination.$file,$filetimestamp);
}
... (some codes) ...
Not sure if this helps anyone or not, but thought I'd post anyway. Had a challenge where I has heaps of movies I'd purchased and downloaded through various online stores all stored in one folder, but all in their own subfolders and all with different naming conventions. I wanted to move all of them into the parent folder and rename them all to look pretty. all of the subfolders I'd managed to rename with a bulk renaming tool and conditional name formatting. the subfolders had other files in them i didn't want. so i wrote the following php script to, 1. rename/move all files with extension mp4 to their parent directory while giving them the same name as their containing folder, 2. delete contents of subfolders and look for directories inside them to empty and then rmdir, 3. rmdir the subfolders.
$handle = opendir("D:/Movies/");
while ($file = readdir($handle)) {
if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && is_dir($file)) {
$newhandle = opendir("D:/Movies/".$file);
while($newfile = readdir($newhandle)) {
if ($newfile != "." && $newfile != ".." && is_file("D:/Movies/".$file."/".$newfile)) {
$parts = explode(".",$newfile);
if (end($parts) == "mp4") {
if (!file_exists("D:/Movies/".$file.".mp4")) {
rename("D:/Movies/".$file."/".$newfile,"D:/Movies/".$file.".mp4");
}
else {
unlink("D:/Movies/".$file."/".$newfile);
}
}
else { unlink("D:/Movies/".$file."/".$newfile); }
}
else if ($newfile != "." && $newfile != ".." && is_dir("D:/Movies/".$file."/".$newfile)) {
$dirhandle = opendir("D:/Movies/".$file."/".$newfile);
while ($dirfile = readdir($dirhandle)){
if ($dirfile != "." && $dirfile != ".."){
unlink("D:/Movies/".$file."/".$newfile."/".$dirfile);
}
}
rmdir("D:/Movies/".$file."/".$newfile);
}
}
unlink("D:/Movies/".$file);
}
}
i move all my .json files from root folder to json folder with this
foreach (glob("*.json") as $filename) {
rename($filename,"json/".$filename);
}
