Could someone give me an example of a simple copy file script.

How would I copy the image from $prepicurl to $varpicurl without deleting the image $prepicurl?

$prepicurl = '../images/premade/premade_test.gif';
$varpicurl = '../uploads/img/test.gif';
$newimg = 'img'.mt_rand(0,1000).mt_rand(0,999).'.gif';
$copyimage = copy($prepicurl, $newimg);
$saveimage = rename("../images/premade/$newimg", $varpicurl);

PHP:

Thanks.

 

Copying the image files or the memory? (as in the resource)

 

Copy the actual file itself (.gif). Basically what I need is like rename(loc1,loc2) to move the file but what I need is the file to be duplicated so I can still have it in directory 1 yet the same file is in directory 2 under the new name.

Before:
Directory 1 --> bob.gif
Directory 2 --> (empty)

After:
Directory 1 --> bob.gif
Directory 2 --> foo.gif (foo.gif is the same file as bob.gif it is just under a new name)

 

<?php
$file = file_get_contents("bob.gif");

file_put_contents("foo.gif", $file);

?>

PHP:

or

<?php

copy('bob.gif', 'foo.gif');

?>

PHP:

This will create a copy of bob.gif except under a different name (foo.gif), feel free to change it accordingly such as paths/directories etc.

 

This duplicates the file bob.gif (thats in directory1) to directory2 with the name foo.gif. The directories must already exist (although you could just use mkdir()).

<?php
    $path = dirname(__FILE__).'/';

    copy($path.'directory1/bob.gif', $path.'directory2/foo.gif') || die('Failed to copy');
?>

PHP:

 

Thanks. It worked.
