Rename folder with php

[discoloser]

Hello,

 

I have a photo gallery with a simple ul list of categories.

The categories are folders on my server.

If a folder is named "Ödla" then the category is named "Ödla" too.

Is it possible to replace Ö in "Ödla" with o.

I onlyt want to change the name of the ul list, not the actual folder on the server.

 

I hope you understand what I mean.

And I don´t want to use mysql...

str_replace() should work for you. You can define an array of characters to be replaced and an array of characters that will do, errr,  the replacing (for lack of a better phrase).

I´ve tried str_replace(), but "odla" couldn´t find the images in "Ödla"

Images?

[discoloser]

Yes, I have images in the category folders on my server. And when I use str_replace to change Ödla to odla, the category can´t find the images

Oh, no. I mean use str_replace() to echo the folder names to the screen, not to specify the folder name in the path . . . Can you post the relevant section of code?

Can I use str_replace() to specify the folder name in the path?

[chintansshah]

can you post your code for better understanding of your problem.

I´ll try to explain more clearly:

My image gallery is based on folders. Every folder is a category in the gallery.

If the folder´s name is "Öland" I want the url to be "oland".

Can I do this without changing the name of the folder and without using database?

How will your script know that oland maps to the Öland folder?  Solving that problem seems to be the main sticking point.  Do the folders change very often?

When you're echoing the list of folders, echo the url without using str_replace(), and the link with str_replace(). For example:

 

<?php
$folder_list = array( 'folder1', 'folder2', 'folder3' );
$needles = range( 1,3 );
$replacements = range( 'A','C' );
foreach( $folder_list as $v ) {
    echo "<a href=\"$v\">Link to " . str_replace($needles, $replacements, $v) . "</a><br>\n";
}
?>

 

The above returns this source:

<a href="folder1">Link to folderA</a><br>

<a href="folder2">Link to folderB</a><br>

<a href="folder3">Link to folderC</a><br>

Exactly, there is a problem. The folders will not change, but I will be adding new ones.
