Reiterative Copy() in a Directory Alternative

Hi, I have a scenario here where I wanted to read through a directory and copy all the files into another directory out on the server somewhere. It appears that I cannot do reiterative copying from the files to another folder, according to the error I keep seeing: PHP Warning: copy(a2.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/ajwei//Desktop/file_copy.php on line 18 Error! Couldn't copy a2.txt to /home/ajwei/Documents/test1/a2.txt Is it possible that there is an alternative for this? I have no problems with reading through the directory using readdir(), <? if ($handle = opendir('/home/ajwei/Desktop/test/')) { echo "Directory handle: $handle\n"; echo "Files:\n"; mkdir("/home/ajweiDocuments/test1", 0755); while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { echo "$file\n"; $result= copy($file, '/home/ajwei/Documents/test1/$file'); if ($result) { echo "$file has been copied to /home/ajwei/Documents/test1/$file\n\n"; } else { echo "Error! Couldn't copy $file to /home/ajwei/Documents/test1/$file\n"; } } } closedir($handle); Is there an alternative to what I am meant to do if the copy() cannot be functioned the way I anticipated? I welcome any suggestion. Alice ====================================================== Alice Wei MIS 2009 School of Library and Information Science Indiana University Bloomington ajwei@indiana.edu
