Question

Didn´t know very well what to write on the title, but this is that i need

My website stores files on the server, and each file gets its url stored in the database with other information. Like “http://website.com/folder1/file.xx”

The problem is that i have 500 files inside a folder wich are from different folders. (In the database they are, each one, on these previous folders)

So how would i do to change the /folder1/, /folder2/, /folder3/, etc
all to the same folder (the current) from the url stored in the database for each one of these files?

---

OR MAYBE
it would be simplier if i deleted all the files from database and re-insert them?
Do you know what php would i use for it? (List the files, and delete the respectives on database)

Answer 1

in your loop on file link create new urls like this

$result = mysql_query("select * from yourtablename");
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
   $newpath = "http://website.com/mynewfolder/";    
   $filename = basename($row['file_path']);
   $newlink  = $newpath.$filename;
   $update = mysql_query("update yourtablename set url = '".$newlink."' where id = $row['id'] ");
}
