you could set a cron job to do that for you, PHP might be something like ...

cron /usr/bin/php -q /path/to/script.php

PHP Code:


			
<?php
$src_folder='/home/blah/webcam';
$dest_folder='/home/blah/webcam/history';
$arr=array('a','b','c','d');
foreach($arr as $a){
 if(file_exists("$src_folder/{$a}.jpg")){
    rename("$src_folder/{$a}.jpg","$dest_folder/{$a}_".date('ymdhis').".jpg");
 }
}
?>

you could do the same with bash on linux of course rather than calling php, whichever you are more comfortable with

MVC is the current buzz in web application architectures. It comes from event-driven desktop application design and doesn't fit into web application design very well. But luckily nobody really knows what MVC means, so we can call our presentation layer separation mechanism MVC and move on. (Rasmus Lerdorf) Last edited by firepages; 11-14-2012 at 08:18 AM..
