[RESOLVED] Move File

[obrienkev]

Hi all,

The below writes to the file ok but gives the error message when moving the file. Why is this? Thanks.

			 // open file
			 $fp = fopen($newfile, "w");

		 fwrite($fp, $output);


		 // MOVE FILE
		 $uploaddir = '../uploads/';
		 $uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($newfile);


		 // CHECK FILE MOVED
		 if (move_uploaded_file($newfile, $uploaddir))
		 {
 		    echo '<p>File Successfully Uploaded!</p><br />';
		 }
		 else echo 'Error Moving File';

Because you're using $uploaddir instead of $uploadfile in move_uploaded_file

Is it an actual file upload you're working with because move_uploaded_file only works for contents of the $_FILES superglobal.

If it's an ordinary file you're working with you can just use rename()

You also didn't use fclose after writing to the file.

I want to copy to a different folder directory. Here's my code so far...

             $file = 'template.php'; //TEMPLATE
             $newfile = $title.'.php'; // COPY

         echo $filedir = '../scanning_team/'.$newfile; // FILE DIRECTORY

         // copy over files
         if (!copy($file, $filedir)) {
              echo "failed to copy $file...\n";
         }
         else
         {
                 echo 'File Created.';
         }

this works...thanks!!

         $file = 'template.php'; //TEMPLATE
         $newfile = $title.'.php'; // FILE COPY

         echo $filedir = '../'.$folder.'/'.$newfile; // FILE DIRECTORY

         // COPY OVER FILE TEMPLATE
         if (!copy($file, $filedir)) {
              echo "failed to copy $file...\n";
         }
         else
         {
                 echo 'File Created.';
         }

         // OPEN COPIED FILE
         $fp = fopen($filedir, "w");

         fwrite($fp, $output); // WRITE TO FILE

         fclose($fp); // CLOSE FILE
