[RESOLVED] copying multiple files

[jkarr]

Hello,

I am trying to copy multiple files with this code I found at php.net

<?php
$file = 'example.txt';
$newfile = 'example.txt.bak';

if (!copy($file, $newfile)) {
   echo "failed to copy $file...\n";
}
?> 

but when I try to copy multiple files, it only copies the last file in the list.

What can I do? I have read about creating your own functions, but I don't really understand the 2 examples I can find.

Anyone with the time to explain that would be willing would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Oh yeah,

the way I implement the code is as follows:

$file = old file location
$newfile = new file location
$file = old file location2
$newfile = new file location2

do I have to use file and new file or can I use different variables for each file?

I found the problem.

I needed to add if (!copy($file, $newfile)) blah blah line after each file to copy.
