PHP File extension case changer

Published in: PHP 

Small script to rename files in a given directory so that their extension is lowercase (i.e. example.JPEG becomes example.jpeg). Useful for keeping extensions consistent before uploading to a server with a case sensitive file system.

Note this includes code specifically for PHP on Windows (merely because it was written for use on my local XP box) which remove the XP-created "Thumbs.db" files. On OS X, the equivalent is .DS_STORE. I don't now about Linux (it probably differs depending on the distribution??).

Plain TextExpand 
  1. <?php
  2. $root = $_GET['root'];
  3. $files = array_merge(glob("$root*.*"),glob("$root*\*.*"),glob("$root*\*\*.*"));
  4. $z=0;
  5. for($i=0;$i<count($files);$i++) {
  6. 	if(stripos($files[$i],"Thumbs.db")) {
  7. 		unlink($files[$i]);
  8. 		$z++;
  9. 	}
  10. 	else {
  11. 		rename($files[$i],strtolower($files[$i]));
  12. 	}
  13. }
  14. echo "$i files renamed. $z Thumbs.db files deleted.";
  15. ?>
