renaming files form on local pc

[hyster]

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>";
}

?> 
 <table align="center" width="200px" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3">
 <form name="form1" method="get" action="mov.php">
 <tr>
 <td colspan="3"><strong> </strong></td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
 <td width="71">Replace</td>
 <td width="6">:</td>
 <td width="301"><input name="rep" type="text" id="rep"></td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
 <td>With</td>
 <td>:</td>
 <td><input name="with" type="text" id="with"></td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
 <tr>
 <td colspan="3" align="center"><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"></td>
 </tr></form>
 </table>
 
<?php
                if (isset($_GET["rep"])) {
                $rep1=$_GET['rep'];
                }
                if (isset($_GET["with"])) {
                $with1=$_GET['with'];
                }
                
                
 foreach(glob($path.'/*.*') as $filename){        
              $strip =  str_replace($rep1, $with1, $filename);
              echo $strip."</br>";  
              rename($filename,$strip);
}
    
?>

Try using 'pathinfo' to break apart a fully qualified filename.  Then apply your replace work on just the filename portion, and not the path

[mogosselin]

You'll need to separate the path of the file from the name of the actual file, and just change the name.

 

With the following method, you can get the file name only:

$filePath = '/usr/local/test.txt';
$file = basename($filePath);
echo $file; // should give test.txt

And, with the following, you can extract the directory name:

$filePath = '/usr/local/test.txt';
$dir = dirname($filePath);
echo $dir; // should give /user/local

Or with path info, even better (as suggested by @ginerjm)

<?php
$path_parts = pathinfo('/www/htdocs/inc/lib.inc.php');

echo $path_parts['dirname'], "\n";
echo $path_parts['basename'], "\n";
echo $path_parts['extension'], "\n";
echo $path_parts['filename'], "\n"; // since PHP 5.2.0
?>
