Question

Im working on a shopping cart solution for my client. The shopping cart is smart enough to associate file names with product id’s so what i have to do is rename each image file name to associate it with a product id. (ie. product_id1 and product_id1.jpg)

$filename;

  function renamer(){
foreach(glob('./my_images/*.*') as $filename){

    for($i =0; $i<10;$i++ ){
      rename($filename, "/my_images/product_id".$i.".jpg");
    }  

}

}




renamer();

For some reason the files are not being renamed. I get an error message:

The system cannot find the path specified. (code: 3)

Answer 1

rename($filename, "/my_images/product_id".$i.".jpg");

Will attempt to move the files to /my_images/product_id. Note that this is in the root directory. If this is intended make sure that /my_images exists. Otherwise try:

rename($filename, "my_images/product_id".$i.".jpg");

Which will add the files to the my_images folder in the current directory. Again, make sure this exists.
