Sync directories & files on remote server???

[fuzzy1]

Hey All,

I have 3 field based (tablet) DB's that we synchronize periodically via SQLyog (works pretty well) but we have PDF files (contracts and reports) that are created in the field, and refferenced in the DB that naturally DON'T syncronize with the DB sync process. Hence, once sync'd our main server's DB references files and folders that only exist on the field servers. How best might one script synchronization of the directories and thier related PDF files so that the main server is truly in sync with the field servers?

mkdir, copy etc???

Okay, how can I make this work for remote server?

<?php
$source="../crm/data";// THIS WORKS
//$source="http://localhost/crm/data";// THIS DOESN'T 
$dest="test_2";
//see if (is_dir("$source/$entry")&&$dest!=="$source/$entry")

copys($source,$dest);
function copys($source,$dest)
{
    if (!is_dir($source))
    return 0;
    if (!is_dir($dest))
    {
        mkdir($dest);
    }
    $h=@dir($source);
    while (@($entry=$h->read()) !== false)
    {
        if (($entry!=".")&&($entry!=".."))
        {
            if (is_dir("$source/$entry")&&$dest!=="$source/$entry")
            {
                copys("$source/$entry","$dest/$entry");
            }
            else
            {
                @copy("$source/$entry","$dest/$entry");
            }
        }
    }
    $h->close();
    return 1;
} 
?>
