WARNING:
You will have to make sure this script never runs TWO copies at once.

If you run two at once, sooner or later, you'll get all screwed up...

It could be re-written, in various ways, to avoid that problem, if you
need it...

[PHP] how to select files from a directory and transfer to a different dir ?

2005-02-22 Thread Vaibhav Sibal
Hello,
I need to select around 200 files at random out of a file pool of
10k-15k files from a directory and then transfer them to another
directory on my linux server which runs Apache 2.0.52, PHP 5.0.3 and
Mysql. I will also be requiring to add the paths of all those files
into a database. If someone can please suggest the way to do it, I
will be really grateful. I dont know how to select 200 files at random
and then transferring the files to another directory and then adding
those files to a database.

thanks
Vaibhav
