RE: [PHP3] Copying a directory From: Joe Robuck (joer <email protected>)

Michael,
        Thanks for your response. I have tried the following:

copy('/path/to/existing/dir','/path/to/new/dir');
This give me a file with the name of the new directory, not a directory

mkdir('/path/to/new/dir');
copy('/path/to/existing/dir/*','/path/to/new/dir');
This gives me "cannot open /path/to/existing/dir/* for reading (permissions
aren't the issue). Even if it did copy, I don't think it would be recursive.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for your help.

- Joe

|I'm trying to copy a directory recursively, meaning all of the
|subdirectories and all of the files within those subdirectories.
|Copying the
|directory using copy() doesn't work and creating the directory
|using mkdir()
|then using copy to copy all of the files (*) doesn't work either. Does
|anyone have any suggestions?

What do you mean with doesn't work ? Be more specific, at what point do you
get stuck?

regards,

Michael.

|Thanks,
