ŠKD Indijanci - Hike #6

In the evening I wrote my first PHP script. It can be used to copy the files (photos) taken after sunrise and below sunset to a designated folder. It is useful if you download pictures with a script every x minutes and name them correctly.

And the script looks like this:

/* calculate the sunrise time for Kredarica, Slovenia
Latitude: 46.37826 North
Longitude: 13.84901East
Zenith ~= 90
offset: +1 GMT
*/

/*Change input parameters: input_folder, output_folder.
Works on filenames with structure: YYYY*MM*DD*HH*MM?, where * is a single character and ? can be a string. */

$latitude=46.37826;
$longitude=13.84901;
$zenith=90;
$offset=1;
$DATE=date("Y_m_d-H_i");
$copied_files=0;

$input_folder  = "/mnt/storage/private/tomaz_weather_station/fetched_photos";
$output_folder = "/mnt/storage/private/www_photos/Zelenica/out";

$filenamelist  = scandir($input_folder);

//print_r($filenamelist);
echo "Starting script!". PHP_EOL. "Files found: ". count($filenamelist). PHP_EOL;
foreach ($filenamelist as $value) {
$year=substr($value,0,4);
$month=substr($value,5,2);
$day=substr($value,8,2);
$hour=substr($value,11,2);
$minute=substr($value,14,2);
$photo_taken=strtotime("$year-$month-$day $hour:$minute");
$sunrise = date_sunrise(strtotime("$year-$month-$day"), SUNFUNCS_RET_TIMESTAMP, $latitude, $longitude, $zenith, $offset);
$sunset  = date_sunset(strtotime("$year-$month-$day"), SUNFUNCS_RET_TIMESTAMP, $latitude, $longitude, $zenith, $offset);
if ($photo_taken >= $sunrise and $photo_taken <= $sunset) {
copy("$input_folder/$value", "$output_folder/$value");
$copied_files++; 
} else {
}
}
echo "Files copies: ". $copied_files. PHP_EOL;
?>
