How do I copy files repository to new folder with PHP
- by dcp3450
I have a folder named "repository" in my admin folders. This folder holds 2 files: index.html and content.php. When a user creates a new page the php creates a new folder specified by the user then will need to copy the two files into that folder while leaving them in the repository.
copy(file,dest) does not work.
rename(file,dest) moves the files to the new folder but I lose them in the repository.
How do I copy the files in one folder to the new folder without losing the files in the original folder?
$dest = '../'.$menuLocation.'/'.$pageName;
$file1= "repository/index.html";
$file2= "repository/content.php";
mkdir($dest,0777);
rename($file1,$dest.'/index.html');
rename($file2,$dest.'/content.php');
$menuLocation and $pageName are supplied by the user. The files are there, file_exists returns back true. Also, the directory is created with no issues. rename() also works I just lose the files in repository.
