I have many 1000's of video files I want to rename so I wrote a php script to do it locally on mc ps so security is not an issue.

the script works fine until it completes the find - replace cycle.

I have tried to code it so that it keeps the folder path until a new 1 is selected.

 

the script works by selecting a file in the folder u want, this is sent to another form where u select the string to replace with another string,

 

this part works fine.

 

I then set it to reset to the previous folder selected.

 

the problem I have when it refresh's is that instead of the file name being removed it then removes the last folder.

 

IE:

G:\vids\Show\season 1\S01E01.drops.hdtv.avi  //select file

 

becomes

G\vids\Show\season 1\ // so all the files in the folder are listed, then u can see what needs to be changed in the file name

 

but after it refresh's it becomes

G:\vids\Show\

 

how do I stop it from removing the last folder on the refresh??

hope this made sense

thanks for any help

Here is your problem:

You want the directory of the file you choose in the form above.

 

$path1 = pathinfo($_GET["pathw"]);  
$paths = $path1['dirname']; //selects directory name of the filepath you choose.

 

You then copy the directory to a new variable:

$pathw = $paths;

You then refresh, setting the URL_QUERY_STRING as the current directory:

echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=mov1.php?pathw=$pathw\">";

When it refreshes,

$path1 = pathinfo($_GET["pathw"]); Get the path info for the DIRECTORY. Since you sent the directory (not file name) in the URL_QUERY_STRING.
$paths = $path1['dirname']; //Choose the directory ONE LEVEL UP.
