Kieran Menor Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 It seems more likely that it's the exec() causing the problem, to be honest. Why would you need to copy files that way anyway? PHP has a copy() function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJabber Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 I need to copy more than 1 file and i cannot find anything other than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran Menor Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 A simple loop would be fine for the task. Something like: foreach(glob('folder/*.*') as $file) { copy($file, 'destination/'.basename($file)); } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieran Menor Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 What exactly do you need to copy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJabber Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 What exactly do you need to copy? A folder with PHP files and subfolders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran Menor Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Ah. Well in that case, you will need something slightly more advanced. Try looking in the user comments on the copy page. I'm sure you can find a snippet that will help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you know what i mean if so then plz post it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran Menor Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 This function looks like a decent candidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieran Menor Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Well put the function at the start of your script. Then you can call copy_r('foldertocopy', 'destination') at any time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
