I can't rename

[vigour]

Can someone please tell me what's wrong with this code. Rename does not work, copy does not work either. The idea os to move the files from the folder 'pictures' to the folder 'liggande' or 'staende' depending on width and height of the image. The logic works but no files are moved or copied. I'm on Mac OS X, latest version.

<?php

$mydir = dir('pictures');
while(($file = $mydir->read()) !== false)
	{
	echo "Filename: $file";
	echo "<BR>";
	list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = getimagesize("pictures/".$file);
	echo "Width: " .$width;
	echo "<BR>";
	echo "Height: " .$height;
	echo "<BR>";

if($width > $height)
	{
	echo "liggande";
	//rename("pictures/".$file, "liggande/".$file);
	copy("pictures/".$file, "liggande/".$file);
	}
else
	{
	echo "staende";
	//rename("pictures/".$file, "staende/".$file);
	copy("pictures/".$file, "staende/".$file);
	}

echo "<BR>";
echo "<BR>";
}

?>

No, the code you see in my example is all the code I have. How do I do that?

[joe2]

Please see the Mac OS manual, it is some thing like..ACE C. I am not very sure about the Mac.

I have read and write permissions. I think the problem is in my PHP code. Please give me a complete rename example and I will try it and see if it works.

[joe2]

Please check

are you getting correct echo ?
are you uploading more than 2mb image size ?
directory permission ?
lastly you can try with full path in copy statement.

Hope, this helps

[vigour]

Correct echo, yes
I'm not uploading anything
All permissions, yes
Full path does not work

[joe2]

Try to find the copy return from statement like..

if (!copy($file, $newfile)) {
echo "failed to copy $file...\n";
}

[vigour]

Ok, I tested that and got the answer, failed to copy. Can I get a error code as well?

[joe2]

Is "liggande" directory exists ?

[vigour]

Yes both liggande and staende directory is there.

[joe2]

try move_uploaded_file...

Full path does not work

... could not understand.

[vigour]

Why should I use move_uploaded_file when I justs want to move files that are NOT uploaded?

The files are already in the directory pictures.

[joe2]

i have written, you can try....

Are you sure php is seeing your files?

if (!file_exists($file)) {
echo "failed to see $file...\n";
}else{
echo "can see $file...\n";
}
