PHP - Renaming File

Hi Guys,

I use this function to generate seo friendly names for my products once pulled from the database:


function generate_seo_friendly_links($pNM, $pID)
{
    $replacedNM = str_replace(" ", "-", $pNM);  
    $replacedNM = rtrim($replacedNM);  
    $brandNewSEOFriendlyURL = "<a href='$replacedNM-$pID.html'>$pNM</a>";    
    return $brandNewSEOFriendlyURL;
}


This works great, the only thing is say a product is stored in the database like:

product name it would then be converted to: product-name.html

if for example theres 2 spaces:

product  name it would then be converted to: product--name.html

with the 2 "--" so for every space it finds we replace with a "-" etc

is there a way i could ignore more than 1 space and always have it like product-name-here.html so the names are more uniformed, i can't think of a way to do it.

any help would be appreciated

thanks guys

I am reading hundreds of CSVs to import into a DB.

Some of the column names contain the same data but have different names across all the files.

For example, one file will say Phone where the other says EveningPhone...both contain the same data, different names.

I am trying to rename everything to EveningPhone because I had most of the code done when i realized there were different header names in different files.  Too lazy to replace all i guess..

I am creating an assoc array to match the data then off to the db it goes..

The problem is I cannot get the keys to rename to one convention.   Here is the function where it happens:

Code: [Select]
public function readCSV($file) {
/**
* @todo: LOAD THE FILE INTO A MULTIDIMENSIONAL ASSOCIATIVE ARRAY TO DETERMINE THE FILEDS
*/

// Read the first line to get the headers
$headers = fgetcsv($file);


if (!array_key_exists('EveningPhone', $headers)) {
if (array_key_exists('Phone', $headers)) {
$headers['EveningPhone'] = $headers['Phone'];
unset($headers['Phone']);
} else {
die("other");
}
}

format::neat_r($headers);   // basically print_r but adds a new line to read it easier...
die();

At the end, I still get EveningPhone not defined errors from a file that uses Phone as the phone number..

Anybody have any ideas?

I wrote this script to rename my many tv series I have on my pc, works by finding a string in the file name and replacing it the script works fine until I want to replace the file name with something that is also in the path file = band ep01.avi path = j:\media\ TV shows\Band of Brothers\   so if I try to change "Band" to "Band of Brothers" the path changes as well  is there a way I can change the code so it dosent effect the path ??

<?php

$path = 'J:\media\TV shows\Band of Brothers';

foreach(glob($path.'/*.*') as $filename){         
              echo $filename."</BR>";
}

?>

 foreach(glob($path.'/*.*') as $filename){        
              $strip =  str_replace($rep1, $with1, $filename);
              echo $strip."</br>";  
              rename($filename,$strip);

I'm using the following code in a WordPress functions file to rename a folder in the uploads folder according to the date, but this only works if the chmodd settings of both folders are 777. How can I change this code so I can use at least chmodd 755 to keep my website save.

Code: [Select]
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Amsterdam'); // set timezone
$foldername = '';
$source = 'uploads';
$allfolders = getDirectory($source); // get folders
$folder = $source.'/'.$allfolders[0]; // get first folder
$month = (int)date('n');
$day = (int)date('j');
$f = 50-$day; $s = 100-$month;
$newfolder = $source.'/'.(string)$f.(string)$s;
if($folder != '' && $folder != $newfolder){
rename($folder, $newfolder);
$foldername = $newfolder."/";
}else if($folder == $newfolder){
$foldername = $newfolder."/";
}
else{ $foldername = 'error';
}

I have a folder containing files. I want to replace some characters in the file names (e.g. "_" with "-"), then make a list of new files (renamed ones).

Thanks 

how to get the name of the file including a file from the included file,

This one has me mixed up a bit.. I am trying to record site activity information from a common.php file using a user object. But since the file is included into different php files based on different situations I need a dynamic way of finding the file name that is including it. I could be over complicating things but right now this seems like the best solution other wise I'll have to rewrite the code on every page i write. Is there a function for doing this? Or if someone gets what I'm trying to do if they could point me to the direction of some more information on it.

Thanks.

Hey everyone, I'm pretty new to this, not my full time job, but just something I thought I'd give a shot...

I have a database, in postgres, in which I make my query and I go fetch all the info I need.
What I need to do next is the tricky part for me.

For each line of results received, I have to output to a text file (.txt) but I have to respect a format that was given to me from the person requesting the info.

Example:
Character 1 must be G or N.
Character 2 to to 11 will be a result from my database search, which is a 10 digit string.
Character 12 to 14 must be spaces.

Another rule is:
start at character 78: input a value from my database search but it must not exceed 20 characters and if it is less then 20 character, fill the remaining with spaces.


If anyways has a code I can copy and work off of I would really appreciate it....thanks!

Hiya,

Firstly, I'm a complete novice, apologies! But I have got my upload.php working which is nice. I will post the code below.

However, I would now like to restrict the file size and file type to only word documents.

I currently have a restriction of 200KB but it's not working - no idea why as I've looked at other similar codes and they look the same.

Also, just to complicate things - can I stop files overwriting each other when uploaded? At the moment, if 2 people upload files with the same name one will overwrite the other.

Is this too many questions in 1?

Any help is very much appreciated!

Code below:

</form>

<?php 
 $target = "upload/"; 
 $target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ; 
 $ok=1; 
 
 //This is our size condition 
 if ($uploaded_size > 200) 
 { 
 echo "Your file is too large.<br>"; 
 $ok=0;

I'm using an Upload Script, and I've been working on trying to style the 'Choose File Button' (input file button)

In this multi file upload form, choose three images, click submit and preview the images on the preview page. If the user wishes to delete or replace an image, click edit and the form will go back to the previous page. Select the replace radio button for example on one of the three images and select a new image from the file input prompt and click submit. The form will go to the preview page again to display the images. During this process the image names are being input into a table and the images are being moved to a directory.

The table is

  `id`  AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `image0`
  `image1`
  `image2`
  `status`

So input name='image[image0]' can be directed to table `image0` and so on.

The code for keep and delete work fine, but how do I replace an image?
I have two foreach blocks. The first one deletes the image file from the directory and deletes the image name from the table, but the second foreach dose not move the new image file into the directory.
Thanks.

<input type='radio' name='image[image0]' value='keep' checked='checked'/>
<input type='radio' name='image[image0]' value='delete' />
<input type='radio' name='image[image0]' value='replace' />
<input type="file" name="image[]" />

<input type='radio' name='image[image1]' value='keep' checked='checked'/>
<input type='radio' name='image[image1]' value='delete' />
<input type='radio' name='image[image1]' value='replace' />
<input type="file" name="image[]" />

<input type='radio' name='image[image2]' value='keep' checked='checked'/>
<input type='radio' name='image[image2]' value='delete' />
<input type='radio' name='image[image2]' value='replace' />
<input type="file" name="image[]" />

<?php
if (isset($_POST['status'])) {

$status = $_POST['status'];
$confirm_code = $status;

#--------------------------- replace --------------------------------------------

if (isset($_POST['submitted']) &&
($image = $_POST['image'])) {

foreach($image as $imageKey => $imageValue) {
if ($imageValue == 'replace') {
$query = "SELECT $imageKey FROM table WHERE status = '$status' ";
if($result = $db->query( $query )){
$row = $result->fetch_array();
}

unlink( UPLOAD_DIR.$row[0] );

$query = "UPDATE table SET $imageKey = '' WHERE status = '$status' ";
}
}

I have a page using forms to help build listing templates for eBay. I have a folder where I have hundreds of logos stored. I know the logo names but not their extensions. . . . I have to test each potential (jpg, jpeg, gif, png, etc.) until I guess right. Here is an example code for the web form: <form action="extension_test2.php" method="post">
<p>Logo: <input name="e" value="" type="text" size="15" maxlength="30" /><p>
<input name="Submit" type="Submit"/>
</form>   and the form's result: <?

$e =$_POST['e'];

if(!empty($e)) {
echo '<img src="http://www.gbamedica...ebayimg/logos/'.$e.'">';
};

?>   Here is a link to the example: http://www.gbamedica...ension_test.php Use "olympus.jpg" for test. I am looking for code that can determine the file type and dynamically add the extension. Can it be done?

So, I'm learning how to upload pictures into a system from my awesome PHP book. I've looked and looked through the script but I can't figure out whats wrong with it.

Goal:
The script is meant to save a full version of the image in the images folder and a thumbnail in the thumbnail folder.
Bug:
The full image does not appear in any folder, and the thumbnail is created but its put in the images folder.

I've checked the GD library, and everything is supported.

Any help appreciated.

Hi everybody. 

I use flash 8 and actionscript 2.0. I am trying to create a small program that needs communication between php / HTML and flash. I have found ( after much frustration and having wasted days on this ) that no matter what - if i make a change to my program and re publish the HTMl AND SWF files after I have deleted the old HTML and swf files , even then when i run the NEW PUBLISHED html / php file, the movie that runs is the old one. I have tried all that I know, like checking paths and stuff to ensure that everything is ok. I am unable to shed the chached old swf file and so the old movie continues to run. 

Is there any one who has encountered anything like this? Please help me. This is driving me nuts. Thanks loads in anticipation of a reply from the nerds on this !

I am using apache web server on linux. I am using PHP for web designing. On web server, i want to show the configuration data by reading the ini file. I am creating this ini file from one php code itself. If this php code i run through linux terminal, the file is created with file and group owner as root.(i am having sudo rights on machine) Then if i try to read the ini file from my apache web server, it gives warning as failed to open stream: permission denied. I have tried changing the owner, and permissions to 777 of the file. Still it is not readable. On the other hand, if i run the php code of ini file creation through web server, ini file is created with file and group owner as apche. and web server is able to read/ write the file. But i want to create that file from root or some other user and later read/written by apache. How to give this access permission?

I havent included the whole title as it wouldnt let me but I was wondering if someone could help me on this?

I know this is possible as torrentflux caters for this but unsure of where to start.

I dont want to allow file or directory uploads or creation in my /etc/php.ini file (this is turned off).

Yet then torrentflux allows me to link a torrent from an external source (using legal downloads of course  ) but then it uploads it on my server and creates folders on a per user basis.

How is this possible can someone give me some pointers please?

I look forward to any replies,
Jeremy.
