Help! Creating Folders & Moving Files

OMFG!!!

OK, so I save the code* as greenguy_help.php then upload it to the server and then how do I run it? (I'm not tech savvy lol) Just go to it in a browser? "Execute" it via FTP?

*Is there supposed to be a ?> at the end of the code?

PS - If this works, Ramster will need your Paypal

I wouldn't run anything on my servers, or clients. I would just ask the hosting company, NationalNet to do this as they are paid to do it lol

Talk on Skype, if Skype actually updates you

Upload it to the directory your MP4s are in. If you have shell access, run it from the command line. If not you can run it from your browser, though the output messages will be all on one line.

It's optional.

I just tested it and works smoothly.

Vbulletin put two line breaks in when Howling pasted the code into the code thing. Note that the extension part is case sensitive.
------------------------------------------------------------------

<?php
$path = ".";
$extensions = array( "mp4" );

$files = array_diff(scandir($path), array('.', '..'));

foreach ( $files as $file ) {
if ( ! is_file ( $file ) ) continue;
$file_parts = pathinfo( $file );
if ( ! in_array( $file_parts['extension'], $extensions ) ) continue;

if ( ! file_exists( $file_parts['filename'] ) && ! mkdir( $file_parts['filename'] ) ) { echo "Oops! Could not create directory {$file_parts['filename']}\n"; continue; }

$new_loc = $file_parts['filename'] . "/" . $file;
if ( ! file_exists( $new_loc ) && ! rename( $file, $new_loc ) ) { echo "Oops! Could not move {$file} to {$new_loc}\n"; continue; }

echo $file . " moved to {$new_loc} successfully.\n";
}
?>

If you're scared, change the "mp4" to "jpg" in a folder of test images on your server, then go to the address of this php file in your browser. It won't hurt anything.

HCP032001.JPG moved to HCP032001/HCP032001.JPG successfully. HCP032002.JPG moved to HCP032002/HCP032002.JPG successfully. HCP032003.JPG moved to HCP032003/HCP032003.JPG successfully.

In that example, I changed the extension to "JPG" because it is case sensitive.
