copy

(PHP 3, PHP 4 , PHP 5)

copy -- Copies file

Description

bool copy ( string source, string dest)

Makes a copy of the file source to dest. Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

Example 1. copy() example

<?php
if (!copy($file, $file.'.bak')) {
   echo
"failed to copy $file...<br />\n";
}
?>

Note: As of PHP 4.3.0, both source and dest may be URLs if the "fopen wrappers" have been enabled. See fopen() for more details. If dest is a URL, the copy operation may fail if the wrapper does not support overwriting of existing files.

Warning

If the destination file already exists, it will be overwritten.

See also move_uploaded_file(), rename(), and the section of the manual about handling file uploads.
