In this example, you will learn 'how to copy a file in PHP programming language?'
For copying a file, we use copy command from source to destination within PHP code tag like
copy ($source,$destination);
Lets do it practically.
First begin the PHP tag (<?php), define the source path and destination under $source and $destination respectively.
Apply the conditional statement to print the output result.
<?php
$source = "C:\\wamp\\www\\projects\\public_html\\upload\\mytextfile.txt";
$destination = "C:\\wamp\\www\\projects\\public_html\\upload\\myfile.txt";
if(copy($source, $destination)) {
echo "File copied successfully.", "\n";
} else {
echo "The file not copied. Please try again.", "\n";
}
?>
In the above example, if file be exists and copied successfully, the print will be "File copied successfully." otherwise the output will be "The file not copied. Please try again".
