File renaming using php

Question

Have the following script.

<?php

if ($handle = opendir('files/')) {
    while (false !== ($fileName = readdir($handle))) {
        $newName = str_replace("SKU#","",$fileName);
        rename(fileName, $newName);
    }
    closedir($handle); } ?>

my script is in the root directory of iss.

inetpub/wwwroot

And I am trying to as a result access the folder files/, which is one level up to wwwroot. Where contains one image called:

"WV1716BNSKU#.zoom.1"

I am using a windows OS, any idea why this is not working, code looks file.

Answer 1

What error do you get? Make sure PHP is setup to display all errors.

Your script will also have to be in the same folder as your files you want to rename as all your paths are relative.

Try this:

if ($handle = opendir('./')){

    while (false !== ($fileName = readdir($handle))){
        $newName = str_replace("SKU#", "", $fileName);
        rename($fileName, $newName);
    }

    closedir($handle);
}
