[SOLVED] how to add an extension to a file that is without extension.

[xpace]

Hi guys, I have quite a lot of jpg images that are actually without extension  .

Is there any way to add this "jpg" extension using php ???

 

thank you

Well I don't know about that, but I can tell you one thing, it's a simple task you want to do...consider making a simple batch file / bash script for it instead, that will be easier way to do it, unless there's some specific reason behind doing it from php...

Hi..

              If its open then try to open with imagefunction and save as it with the function.. or try to add extension directly..

 

Regards,

Vijay

thanks guys,

 

dhruvasagar -> if you know how to create the bash file, I would appreciate it, I don't really care what way it is going to be done, I just thought that PHP would handle such a task and I'm pretty familiar with PHP that's why I was asking about PHP.

 

Vijay -> if I had few pictures I would do it manually, but I have more than 200 of them and that's too much. I'm not sure what you mean by using imagefunction.

 

thanks

anyone else have any suggestions please

well i would try using rename()

http://php.net/rename

rename('old_file', 'new_file_name.jpg');

yea rename should work, but then again it might not seeing as it will turn a non-image into a image

i guess; but i though it was just adding an extention to an image file?

anyone else please ?

 

I have tried rename already but it doesn't want to add the extension as it looks only for the name itself not the extension (that's what I think)

nothing happened after rename with my files,

 

thank you

I have solved the problem - here it is >

 

<?php

   $mydir = dir('imgs');
   
   while(($file = $mydir->read()) !== false) {
      if(is_dir($mydir->path.$file)) {
         echo "Directory: ".$file."<BR>";
      } else {
         $new = "image/".$file.".jpg";
         echo $file." = ".$new."<br>";
      	 rename($mydir->path."/".$file, $new);
      }
   }
   $mydir->close();

?>
