I've got the basic code worked out. Here's the working loclahost version:
Code:
<?php
$existing_dir = "C:\wamp\www\data\eh\insp_rpts\\";
$new_path = "C:\wamp\www\data\eh\ir_pdf\\";
echo "Starting...<br />";
echo "---------------------<br />";
// open a known directory, and proceed to read its contents
if (is_dir($existing_dir)) {
if ($dh = opendir($existing_dir)) {
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
if ($file != "EHPBCONT.pdf") { // special file - leave alone
if (substr($file, -4) == ".pdf") { // process only .pdf files
$ym = substr($file, -12, -6); // extract YYYYMM from filename
$y = substr($ym, 0, 4); // extrat YYYY
$m = substr($ym, -2); // extract MM
$new_dir = $y . "\\" . $m; // make directoty string
// mkdir
if (!file_exists($new_path . $new_dir)) {
mkdir($new_path . $new_dir, 0755, TRUE); // 0755
echo $y . " - " . $m . "<br />";
} else {
echo $new_dir . " exists<br />";
}
// copy files
if (!file_exists($new_path . $new_dir . "\\" . $file)) {
if (!copy($existing_dir . $file, $new_path . $new_dir . "\\" . $file)) {
echo "failed to copy $file...<br />";
}
} else {
echo "file exists: $file...<br />";
}
}
}
}
closedir($dh);
}
}
My purpose has me extracting a year/month from the pdf's filename and using that, in YYYY/MM format, to create the new directory structure. mkdir's recursive option makes creating sub-directories a breeze.
To use this within my application, I decided it best to copy() rather than rename() as I'll need to do some modification to my application code to integrate the new directory structure. After I get everything worked out, I'll delete the old directory.
