Rename function

PHP
1

Hi guys,

Could someone please help me with a rename function.

The code I have is:

<?php

$path = 'path/to/directory';

$dir_handle = opendir($path);

while ($file = readdir($dir_handle)) 
{
 rename();
}

closedir($dir_handle);

?>

I have a bunch of images on my server which have been imported from another script, unfortunately during the import the script added a further extension to the file names. So I have files like: abc.jpg.jpg

I need to put a rename function into my script to change all the files in a directory with the .jpg.jpg extension to a .jpg extension (abc.jpg).
All the file names are different so i can’t do a clean sweep through the directory.

Any ideas?

Found this script, works very well.

<?php

function changeext($directory, $ext1, $ext2, $verbose = false) {
  $num = 0;
  if($curdir = opendir($directory)) {
   while($file = readdir($curdir)) {
     if($file != '.' && $file != '..') {

       $srcfile = $directory . '/' . $file;
       $string  = "$file";
       $str     = strlen($ext1);
       $str++;
       $newfile = substr($string, 0, -$str);
       $newfile = $newfile.'.'.$ext2;
       $dstfile = $directory . '/' . $newfile;

       if (eregi("\\.$ext1",$file)) { # Look at only files with a pre-defined extension
       $fileHand = fopen($srcfile, 'r');
       fclose($fileHand);
       rename($srcfile, $dstfile );
       }

       if(is_dir($srcfile)) {
         $num += changeext($srcfile, $ext1, $ext2, $verbose);
       }
     }
   }
   closedir($curdir);
  }
  return $num;
}

changeext('dir', 'jpg.jpg', 'jpg',  'false');

?>
