Question

How to process files inside the folder sub directories using php script.
Actually I want the image files inside each sub directories residing in my server itself to process and save to another location and save the folder name & file name in the database. Can anyone help and give a sample script on how to operate this…

the folder structure may be something like this

parent folder
 sub-folder1
   img1
   img2
   img3
   .
   .
   img'n'
 sub-folder2
   img1
   img2
   img3
   .
   .
   img'n'
 sub-folder3
   img1
   img2
   img3
   .
   .
   img'n'
 .
 .
 .
 sub-folder'n'

Also if on the process of copying and writing to database how can show a progress bar

u can use this function to copy a folder including its subfolders from source to target.

function fullCopy( $source, $target ) {
    if ( is_dir( $source ) ) {
            $d = dir( $source );
            while ( FALSE !== ( $entry = $d->read() ) ) {
                    if ( $entry == '.' || $entry == '..' ) {
                            continue;
                    }
                    $Entry = $source . '/' . $entry; 
                    if ( is_dir( $Entry ) ) {
                            @mkdir( $Entry );
                            fullCopy( $Entry, $target . '/' . $entry );
                            continue;
                    }
                    copy( $Entry, $target . '/' . $entry );
            }

            $d->close();
    }else {
            copy( $source, $target );
    }
}

inside the loop u can execute a query to save file names to the database.
