Renaming and copying files through php

[rakennedy75]

What I am trying to do is open up a folder on a server and rename all the files dynamically.

So if I have a bunch of image files with random names and want to name them with a specific prefix and a number. (assuming they are all jpgs)

pc01.jpg
pc02.jpg
pc03.jpg... as so on...
Is this possible to do.

The reasoning for this is I want people to upload images and on a weekly basis I just want to run a script that will go into this specific folder and rename all of them dynamically.

Any suggestions on how to go about doing this, or is there a better solution.

I am assuming the file functions such as copy(), rename(), will be use but I am not sure on how to go about using these for this specific purpose.

Thanks for your time.

rename("/path/to/file/pic01.jpg", "/path/to/file/" . $prependwhatever . "/pic01.jpg");
