I am trying to change a file exenstion, but whenever I do the file seems to corrupt.
$oldFileName = $targetDir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $fileName;
$newString = preg_replace('"\.tmp$"', '.jpg', $oldFileName);
rename($oldFileName, $newString);
The code works and changes the extension, but yet the file when downloaded, comes up as being corrupt.
The exension is .tmp and I am trying to change it to .jpg.
If I download the .tmp and manually change it to a .jpg it works, but not when the PHP does it.
Anyone know why this may be happening?
Thanks!
try this
<?php
$file = 'example.txt';
$newfile = 'example.txt.bak'; //new file with extension
if (!copy($file, $newfile)) {
echo "failed to copy $file...\n";
}
?>

I have a image named xyz. Besides this file named xyz has unknown extension viz jpg,jpeg, png, gif etc. I want to copy this file from one folder named advertisers/images to other folder publishers/images in my website cpanl. How to do this with php. Thanks in advance.
You can use copy function:
$srcfile = 'source_path/xyz.jpg';
$dstfile = 'destination_path/xyz.jpg';
copy($srcfile, $dstfile);
You should write your code same as below:
<?php
$imagePath = "../Images/somepic.jpg";
$newPath = "../Uploads/";
$ext = '.jpg';
$newName = $newPath."a".$ext;
$copied = copy($imagePath , $newName);
if ((!$copied))
{
echo "Error : Not Copied";
}
else
{
echo "Copied Successful";
}
?>
Use copy() function
copy('advertisers/images/xyz.png','publishers/
images/xyz.png');
Change the file extension, whatever it is.
If you don't know the extension, go with the wildcard. It will give you the array of all the files matching with the wildcard.
$files = glob('advertisers/images/xyz.*');
foreach ($files as $file) {
copy($file,'publishers/images/'.$file);
}
I'm attempting to move an uploaded image (from Android) that is to be renamed via the PHP below in the second example so that their names cannot conflict. The original example below uploads files correctly but can have naming conflicts. The error that I'm experiencing is that the move_uploaded_files function fails, which I'm unsure as to why. The directory appears the same but I could be wrong and the problem is that image is never moved from the temp directory. Above all else, I think this is just a directory issue since the original example works. Please let me know if you need more information. The example I'm going by is located here: How to rename uploaded file before saving it into a directory?
Original:
$uploaddir = './appphotos/';
$absPath = 'https://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].'/complaint_desk/appphotos/';
$file = basename($_FILES['userfile']['name']);
$uploadFile = $file;
$newName = $uploaddir . $uploadFile;
New Attempt:
$temp = explode(".",$_FILES["userfile"]["name"]);
echo json_encode($temp);
$newfilename = rand(1,99999) . '.' .end($temp);
echo json_encode($newfilename);
$uploadFile = move_uploaded_file($_FILES["userfile"]["name"], "/var/www/complaint_desk/appphotos/" . $newfilename); echo json_encode($uploadFile);
You should use the function as follow:
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES["userfile"]["tmp_name"], "./appphotos/" . $newfilename)) {
echo json_encode($uploadFile); // why do you want to encode it?
} else {
echo 'File failed to move';
}
Always check the result of move_uploaded_file(). Also, the file is located at $_FILES["userfile"]["tmp_name"] before moving.
Also, $absPath is incorrect. It shouldn't start with http protocol. It should look like /var/www/complaint_desk/appphotos/ or C:/complaint_desk/appphotos/.
I have this piece of code..,everything works fine ,but an issue with renaming
$zip = new ZipArchive();
$zipPath = 'images/userfiles/'.$company_details->company_name.'_products.zip';
$emptydir = $company_details->company_name.'_product_logos';
if ($zip->open($zipPath, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE | ZIPARCHIVE::OVERWRITE)) {
$new_filename = substr($my_file, strrpos($my_file, '/') + 1);
$zip->addFile($my_file, $new_filename);
$zip->addEmptyDir($emptydir);
foreach($parts_list as $pl) {
if(!empty($pl['part_image'])){
if (file_exists($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . $baseurl . '/images/group-logo/' . $pl['part_image'])) {
$img_file = 'images/group-logo/' . $pl['part_image'];
$new_filename2 = substr($img_file, strrpos($img_file, '/') + 1);
$zip->addFile($img_file,$emptydir . '/' . $new_filename2);
/*********the problem here******
Is there any way to rename the file that i added on the previous line to something else ,already tried zip rename and renameindex but not working
for example i want to rename the file $new_filename2 to $new_filename2.'something' with out affecting the original file's name
P.S the files to be renamed are inside another folder in the zip
*******************************/
}
}
}
$zip->close();
}
Since you do not want to effect the original file I would think that you are going to need to include a copy statement. Something like;
$file = '$new_filename2';
$newfile = '$new_filename2.zip';
if (!copy($file, $newfile)) {
echo "failed to copy $file...\n";
Okay i figured it out
Zip creates a lock on the file..you cant rename on the fly ,close it and rename again
$zip->addFile('.....');
....
$zip->close();
and open zip again and rename
Here is my code:
if ($_FILES['music']['name'] != '')
{
$file_name = time() . $_FILES['music']['name'];
copy($_FILES['music']['tmp_name'], "music/" . $file_name);
}
else
{
$file_name = "";
}
I want to upload audio file. the file name is insert into database. but its not insert into folder.
try move_uploaded_file instead. You may want to check file size limits too.
I think you want to use move_uploaded_file(), not copy
I guess the folder in which you are trying to copy the uploaded file is not the one you expect. Possibly this is what you need:
copy($_FILES['music']['tmp_name'], __DIR__ . "/music/" . $file_name);
By the way move_uploaded_file() works faster and safer than copy().
Hello I am usign the below code to zip a package on upload:
$nameFile = $_FILES['file']['name'];
$tmpName = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
$download_folder = './CopyrightFiles/';
$zip = new ZipArchive();
$fileconpress = $download_folder.$nameFile.".zip";
$conpress = $zip->open($fileconpress, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE);
if ($conpress === true)
{
$zip->addFile($tmpName);
$zip->close();
echo $fileconpress."<br/>";
echo "yess !! Success!!!! ";
}
else echo " Oh No! Error";
It seems to work ok.
But there are two issues.
First issue it saves the file also with the original extension, something like : image.JPG.zip
Also when I then move the zip package to my local computer (Mac) and I open the ZIP inside I can find only a tmp folder with a binary file inside and NOT the image or the file that should be there!
What the hell is going on?
Please advise
Thank you
That's because your "binary" file is just the temporary name that PHP used to temporarily stored the uploaded file as. That's why it's "tmp_name" in the $_FILES array.
Try this:
$zip->addFile($tmpName, $nameFile);
The second parameter lets you specify what the file's name should be within the zip.
To prevent 'file.jpg.zip', try:
$fileconpress = $download_folder . pathinfo($_FILES['file']['name'], PATHINFO_FILENAME) . ".zip";
Issue #1:
You need to manually remove the extension:
$filename = explode('.', $_FILES['file']['name']);
$filename = $filename[0];
Issue #2:
$tmpName does not contain the filename of the file. You need to pass the $localname parameter in addFile(). See http://php.net/manual/en/function.ziparchive-addfile.php.
