Batch rename images inside folders

Question

I'm doing a data entry job and I need to rename all the images inside a bunch of folders. Instead of doing it manually I thought PHP could help.

Inside each folder is an image. I need to loop through all the folders, grab the image and rename it to it's parent folder's name. I know it's 100% possible but I'm not sure how to go about it.

Thanks!

You need to provide us with some code that illustrates your attempt before we can help. — thatidiotguy, Jul 24 '13 at 18:27

A batch file can do it if we know the filenames.ext used and paths. — foxidrive, Jul 25 '13 at 04:53

You have to use two php's function: scandir and rename.

scandir: list all files of a directory

http://www.php.net/manual/pt_BR/function.scandir.php

Then, with "foreach", you can rename each file using rename

Good look!!!
