How to use php keep only specific file and remove others in directory?
example:
1/1.png, 1/2.jpeg, 1/5.png ...
the file number, and file type is random like x.png or x.jpeg, but I have a string 2.jpeg
the file need to keep.
any suggestion how to do this??
Thanks for reply, now I coding like below but the unlink function seems not work delete anything.. do I need change some setting? I'm using Mamp
UPDATE
// explode string <img src="u_img_p/5/x.png">
$content_p_img_arr = explode('u_img_p/', $content_p_img);
$content_p_img_arr_1 = explode('"', $content_p_img_arr[1]); // get 5/2.png">
$content_p_img_arr_2 = explode('/', $content_p_img_arr_1[0]); // get 5/2.png
print $content_p_img_arr_2[1]; // get 2.png < the file need to keep
$dir = "u_img_p/".$id;
if ($opendir = opendir($dir)){
print $dir;
while(($file = readdir($opendir))!= FALSE )
if($file!="." && $file!= ".." && $file!= $content_p_img_arr_2[1]){
unlink($file);
print "unlink";
print $file;
}
}
}
I change the code unlink path to folder, then it works!!
unlink("u_img_p/".$id.'/'.$file);
$dir = "your_folder_path";
if ($opendir = opendir($dir)){
//read directory
while(($file = readdir($opendir))!= FALSE ){
if($file!="." && $file!= ".." && $file!= "2.jpg"){
unlink($file);
}
}
}
