copy() help

[Anon]

Hi,

I'm having some trouble with the copy() function.

I got the one out of the manual:

if (!copy($file, $file.'.bak')) {
print ("failed to copy $file...
\n");
}

and I changed it to this:

<?
$file = test.'.txt';
mkdir ("d:/inetpub/wwwroot/blah", 0700);
if (!copy($file, blah/$file)) {
print ("failed to copy $file...
\n");
}
?>

But for some reason it doesn't work. I think it's either to do with the way i've set $file or the blah/$file part, i'm just not sure how to fix them.

If anyone could help it'd be great, thanks 🙂

First one works for me - has the server got permission to write into that directory?

The second one will come to grief because Windows uses \ as a path seperator, not /. You're also missing a " or four here and there.
