Question

I was wondering if anyone could help with this. Let’ say I have a db with columns ‘cust_id’ and ‘name’.
I want to rename 2000+ images in a directory to ‘cust_id.jpg’ from their existing ‘name.jpg’.
Column ‘name’ contains all the image names in the folder and I want them renamed to their associated customer id #.

I’m pretty certain this can be done w/ php/mysql but my knowledge of php is very limited and I wouldn’t know where to start writing this. I realise I would have to create a recordset pulling the required data, read directory, loop through etc. but I this is just beyond my capabilities at the moment. Little help?

Thanks!

Try this code.. assuming your table name is tbl_customer and you have your db connection settings in place

$res = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tbl_customer");

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res)){
  $name = $row['name'];
  $cust_id = $row['cust_id'];

  if(file_exists('path/to/your/image/directory/'.$name)){
    rename('path/to/your/image/directory/'.$name,'path/to/your/image/directory/'.$cust_id.".jpg");
  }
}
