We have a product table in which we have a product title and image name
now want to change each image name to product tile with underscrode if space in tile also chage the name in upload folder

Assistant

You can achieve this in Laravel by iterating over all products, renaming the images in the database, and updating the corresponding files in the upload folder. Here's a script to do that:

### Steps:
1. Retrieve all products.
2. Generate a new image name based on the product title.
3. Rename the file in the upload folder.
4. Update the database with the new image name.

### Laravel Script:

use IlluminateSupportFacadesStorage;
use AppModelsProduct;

$products = Product::all();

foreach ($products as $product) {
    if ($product->image_name) {
        $oldImageName = $product->image_name;
        $extension = pathinfo($oldImageName, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
        
        // Create a new image name based on the product title
        $newImageName = str_replace(' ', '_', strtolower($product->title)) . '.' . $extension;

        // Define the upload directory (adjust based on your setup)
        $uploadPath = public_path('uploads/products/');

        // Rename the file if it exists
        if (file_exists($uploadPath . $oldImageName)) {
            rename($uploadPath . $oldImageName, $uploadPath . $newImageName);
        }

        // Update the database record
        $product->image_name = $newImageName;
        $product->save();
    }
}

echo "Image names updated successfully!";

### Adjustments:
– **Update the `$uploadPath`** to match your actual image storage location.
– **Ensure `public_path()` is correct** based on whether your images are stored in `storage` or `public/uploads`.
– **Use `Storage::move()`** if using Laravel's storage disk.

#### For Laravel Storage (`storage/app/public/uploads/products`):
If your images are stored in `storage/app/public/uploads/products/`, use:

use IlluminateSupportFacadesStorage;

Storage::move("uploads/products/{$oldImageName}", "uploads/products/{$newImageName}");

This will rename the images in the storage folder correctly.

Would you like help making this script run as an Artisan command? 🚀

To achieve this, you'll need to update both the product title in the database and the actual file name in the upload folder. Here’s a step-by-step guide to do this:

### 1. Update Product Title in Database
You’ll need to write a migration or a script that goes through your product table, updates the product title to replace spaces with underscores, and updates the image name accordingly.

#### Example of a Laravel Migration for Updating Image Names:

“`php
use IlluminateDatabaseMigrationsMigration;
use IlluminateDatabaseSchemaBlueprint;
use IlluminateSupportFacadesDB;
use IlluminateSupportFacadesSchema;

class UpdateProductImageNames extends Migration
{
public function up()
{
// Fetch all products
$products = DB::table('products')->get();

foreach ($products as $product) {
// Replace spaces with underscores in product title
$newImageName = str_replace(' ', '_', $product->title) . '.jpg'; // Assuming the images are .jpg

// Update product table with new image name
DB::table('products')
->where('id', $product->id)
->update(['image_name' => $newImageName]);

// Rename

it is a core php

In a **Core PHP** setup, you'll need to follow these steps:

### **Steps:**
1. Fetch all product records from the database.
2. Rename the image files in the upload folder.
3. Update the database with the new image names.

### **PHP Script to Achieve This:**

<?php
// Database connection
$host = "localhost"; // Change as needed
$user = "root"; // Change as needed
$password = ""; // Change as needed
$database = "your_database"; // Change as needed

$conn = new mysqli($host, $user, $password, $database);

// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

// Folder where images are stored
$uploadFolder = "uploads/"; // Adjust the path as needed

// Fetch all products
$sql = "SELECT id, title, image_name FROM products";
$result = $conn->query($sql);

if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
    while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
        $id = $row['id'];
        $title = $row['title'];
        $oldImageName = $row['image_name'];

        // Convert title to a valid file name
        $newImageName = str_replace(' ', '_', strtolower($title)) . ".jpg"; // Adjust the extension if needed

        // Check if old image exists in the folder
        $oldImagePath = $uploadFolder . $oldImageName;
        $newImagePath = $uploadFolder . $newImageName;

        if (file_exists($oldImagePath)) {
            // Rename the file
            if (rename($oldImagePath, $newImagePath)) {
                echo "Renamed: $oldImageName -> $newImageName<br>";

                // Update database with new image name
                $updateSQL = "UPDATE products SET image_name = '$newImageName' WHERE id = $id";
                if ($conn->query($updateSQL) === TRUE) {
                    echo "Database updated for ID: $id<br>";
                } else {
                    echo "Error updating database: " . $conn->error . "<br>";
                }
            } else {
                echo "Error renaming: $oldImageName<br>";
            }
        } else {
            echo "File not found: $oldImageName<br>";
        }
    }
} else {
    echo "No products found.<br>";
}

// Close connection
$conn->close();
?>

### **Explanation of Script:**
1. **Connects to the database** – Modify credentials as per your setup.
2. **Fetches all products** from the `products` table.
3. **Replaces spaces in the title with underscores** (`_`) and converts to lowercase for consistency.
4. **Renames the file in the upload folder**.
5. **Updates the database with the new image name**.

### **Requirements:**
– Your images should be inside the `"uploads/"` directory (modify as needed).
– Ensure that the file extension `.jpg` matches your actual image format.

### **Expected Output:**
– Old image names in the `uploads/` folder will be replaced with `title_with_underscores.jpg`.
– The database will be updated accordingly.

also get exisiting image extension

To dynamically get the **existing image extension** instead of assuming `.jpg`, you can modify the script as follows:

### **Updated Core PHP Script:**

<?php
// Database connection
$host = "localhost"; // Change as needed
$user = "root"; // Change as needed
$password = ""; // Change as needed
$database = "your_database"; // Change as needed

$conn = new mysqli($host, $user, $password, $database);

// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

// Folder where images are stored
$uploadFolder = "uploads/"; // Adjust as needed

// Fetch all products
$sql = "SELECT id, title, image_name FROM products";
$result = $conn->query($sql);

if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
    while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
        $id = $row['id'];
        $title = $row['title'];
        $oldImageName = $row['image_name'];

        // Get file extension dynamically
        $fileExtension = pathinfo($oldImageName, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
        
        // Convert title to a valid file name
        $newImageName = str_replace(' ', '_', strtolower($title)) . "." . $fileExtension;

        // Check if old image exists in the folder
        $oldImagePath = $uploadFolder . $oldImageName;
        $newImagePath = $uploadFolder . $newImageName;

        if (file_exists($oldImagePath)) {
            // Rename the file
            if (rename($oldImagePath, $newImagePath)) {
                echo "Renamed: $oldImageName -> $newImageName<br>";

                // Update database with new image name
                $updateSQL = "UPDATE products SET image_name = '$newImageName' WHERE id = $id";
                if ($conn->query($updateSQL) === TRUE) {
                    echo "Database updated for ID: $id<br>";
                } else {
                    echo "Error updating database: " . $conn->error . "<br>";
                }
            } else {
                echo "Error renaming: $oldImageName<br>";
            }
        } else {
            echo "File not found: $oldImageName<br>";
        }
    }
} else {
    echo "No products found.<br>";
}

// Close connection
$conn->close();
?>

### **Key Improvements in This Script:**
1. **Extracts the existing image file extension** dynamically using:

$fileExtension = pathinfo($oldImageName, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);

2. **Preserves the original extension** (e.g., `.jpg`, `.png`, `.jpeg`, etc.).
3. **Renames the file correctly** while ensuring spaces are replaced with underscores in the title.
4. **Updates the database with the new file name**.

### **Expected Output Example:**
– `Product One.jpg` → Renamed to `product_one.jpg`
– `Sample Product.png` → Renamed to `sample_product.png`
