how to rename images and save them to different folder using PHP?

helllo,
( since this is an entirely different question i am posting it as a new message.)

for example,
i have an image here: htp://domain.com/images1/image.jpg
i would like to rename this image as renamedimage.jpg
and move it to another folder htp://domain.com/images2/renamedimage.jpg

how can this be done using PHP?

( i have thousands of images. so i am thinking of using some php script to do this task )
please reply with possible solutions.
thank you very much

You could use php copy(source, destination) function

hello gunman,
thanks for the tip.
but i have a problem.
i used the code as follows:
i kept it in a while loop because there are thousands of images to rename

$file = 'htp://domain.com/images/image1.jpg';
$newfile = 'htp://domain.com/renamedimages/renamedimage1.jpg';

copy($file, $newfile);


and the result is all the images are the same. ( image1 is copied into image2, image3, image4 and all )
i think i have to use imagedestroy function. but dont know how to use the function in this context.
i have tried several ways and the result is:
imagedestroy(): supplied argument is not a valid Image resource.

i could copy individual files very well using this function.
please inform me how to copy the images recursively.
thank you very much for any help

If the same source file given by the $file variable got copied into each destination $newfile, that would indicate that the $file variable did not get modified within your while loop for each file.

imagedestroy() is an GD image manipulation function and not a file handling function - http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.filesystem.php If you want to delete a file after it has been successfully copied, use the unlink() function - http://www.php.net/unlink
