PHP run function for all images from one directory in recursive mode
I have a function
$result = create_watermark( 'input_file_name' ,'output_file_name');
I have a directory called /images
with 500 images in it. All files are named images_(some_unknown_numbers).png
(all png). Now I want to run them through a function in a loop and want to withdraw /markedimage/images_1.png
, images_2.png
, images_3.png
and so on.
I want to run this script in Ubuntu so that we can use the shell too
How can i do this?

I'm not sure if you want to re-index the numbers for the output files. This example should save them:
<?php
$dir = './sourceDir';
$outputDir = './markedimage';
//get files matching pattern. maybe you could use glob() instead
$files = scandir($dir);
$files = preg_grep('~^images_\d+.png$~i', $files);
//process each file
foreach ($files as $file) {
create_watermark( $dir . '/' . $file, $outputDir . '/' . $file);
}

Untested, but this should work too:
// Iterate over all filesystem objects in /images
foreach( new DirectoryIterator('/images') as $file ) {
// check if item is a readable file
if( $file->isFile() && $file->isReadable() ) {
// give debug message so we know what the script is doing
echo "Watermarking $file \n";
// call your function
create_watermark(
// argument 1 is the full path to the image
$file->getPathname(),
// argument 2 is the destination folder plus the filename w/out path
'/markedimage/' . $file->getFilename()
);
// tell us if it is not a readable file
} else {
echo "Skipped $file \n";
}
}
If there are no png files in the folder, you can use GlobIterator instead of DirectoryIterator, but PHP5.3 will need this.

i used 2nd answer
working
<?php
foreach (glob("*.png") as $filename) {
create_watermark($filename, '/watermarked_dir/' . $filename);
}
?>
this answer worked without any changes: D thankx but I can't vote for it because I am not registered
@ 1 i m failed to get it to work but this i think if put some effort into it it will work
<?php
$dir = './sourceDir';
$outputDir = './markedimage';
//get files matching pattern. maybe you could use glob() instead
$files = scandir($dir);
$files = preg_grep('~^images_\d+.png$~i', $files);
//process each file
foreach ($files as $file) {
create_watermark( $dir . '/' . $file, $outputDir . '/' . $file);
}
?>
thankx to guyz who tried and helped me to highlight, I tried to do it in the last 5 hours but couldn't solve it in five minutes
