Copy/Move folders+files

[Paul_Ferrie]

Hi guys,

I was wondering what would be the best way to copy folders+files from one directory to another?
I have a temp folder created as part of an upload form.
In this folder there are some files and another folder with some more files.

I was/am going to just cycle through the folders and copy over one by one but i was wonders if there is an easier way like copy the entire temp folder and rename that.

Is that possible?

Thanks

Ok i have come up with this. I have not tested it yet but i am pretty sure it will work.

		$fID = $_POST['fID'];
		$mailPath 		= "../temp/".$fID."/mail";
		$tempNudPath 	= "../temp/".$fID."/nudity";
		$tempCleanPath 	= "../temp/".$fID;
		$cleanPath	= "../media/modelapps/".$moveID;
		$nudPath	= "../media/modelapps/".$moveID."/nudity";
		if (!is_dir($cleanPath) || !is_dir($nudPath)) {
			mkdir($cleanPath,0777);
			mkdir($nudPath,0777);
		}
		if ($handleMail = opendir($mailPath)) {
			while (false !== ($fileMail = readdir($handleMail))) {
				if ($fileMail != "." && $fileMail != "..") {
					$delMail=unlink($mailPath."/".$fileMail);
				}
			}	
			closedir($handleMail);
			rmdir($mailPath);
		}	
		if ($handleNud = opendir($tempNudPath)) {
			while (false !== ($fileNud = readdir($handleNud))) {
				if ($fileNud != "." && $fileNud != "..") {
					rename($tempNudPath."/".$fileNud, $nudPath."/".$fileNud);
					$delNud=unlink($tempNudPath."/".$fileNud);
				}
			}	
			closedir($handleNud);
			rmdir($tempNudPath);
		}
		if ($handleClean = opendir($tempCleanPath)) {
			while (false !== ($fileClean = readdir($handleClean))) {
				if ($fileClean != "." && $fileClean != "..") {
					rename($tempCleanPath."/".$fileClean, $cleanPath."/".$fileClean);
					$delClean = unlink($tempCleanPath."/".$fileClean);
				}
			}	
			closedir($handleClean);
			rmdir($tempCleanPath);

	}

If it can be better coded then please advise.

Don't forget to mark this thread as resolved if you are satisfied.

Who said it was resolved?
I am pretty sure this code be coded better as i am still a novice php programmer that learns as i goes, so i am looking for guidance.
