I'm having trouble with copy. I have this script that I got from php.net but I can't figure out how to set the path. Right now it doesn't complain but no files are copied. I'm trying to use a dynamically set directory to do this, I have included ml_config to make the vars available. That's why the $listname in the to_path. I want all the files from /maillist to got to /$listname, I've tried all kinds of slashes, dots and anything else but I can't seem to copy any files.

Are you using full paths? Does the directory 'maillist' reside in the root directory? If not, try using full paths.

Thanks Jason, but I think I've done that. I'm on windows. I've tried c:\foxy\www\maillist\ c:\\foxy\\www\\maillist\\

             .//mailist

/maillist ../maillist anything I could think of and tried to go to c:\foxy\www\maillist\$listname (or newlist - the current valuse of $listname) c:\\foxy\\www\\maillist\\$listname (or newlist - the current valuse of $listname)

             .//mailist/$listname (or newlist -  the current valuse of $listname)

/maillist/$listname (or newlist - the current valuse of $listname) ../maillist/$listname (or newlist - the current valuse of $listname) none of these and probaly many others, I lost track, work.

It echos files copied at the end but it lies.

I doubt whether PHP is clever enough to lie. It's only doing what you told it to do. I'm thinking it's smarter than I am.
