I have this code snippet that grabs a SWF file and saves it locally. Works like a charm! However, I need to rename the file and have no idea how to do so. All help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
$filename = "filename"; //Without extension
$urls = array($swf_url);
foreach($urls as $url) {
$data = file_get_contents($url);
file_put_contents('/home/public/'.basename($url), $data);
}
... Just give it a different name in the first place...
file_put_contents('/home/public/' . $someothername, $data);
Simply save it with the name you want:
file_put_contents('/home/public/whatever/you/want.swf', $data);
rename('oldname.swf', 'newname.swf');
You can read more in the documentation.
Why do you not simply change where you're writing it in the first place?
If you read the documentation of file_put_contents, you'll know that the first parameter $filename
is the filename. All you need to do to write it to a different place is change that first parameter.
Namely, modify '/home/public/'.basename($url)
to be whatever you want.
If you really want to rename a file, you can use the rename method of PHP like so:
rename('/home/public/' . basename($url), '/home/public/newname.swf');
.. but that makes little sense.
