RE: [PHP-GENERAL] copying files

Use echo statements to output the values of the variables so we can debug it like this: <?php echo("<B>" . "I am going to move $domain into $newdir"."</B>"); if (!mkdir("$newdir/$domain", 0770)) echo "Unable to create directory<br>"; $directory = opendir("$dir/$domain"); while ($file = readdir($directory)) { if(($file != ".") && ($file != "..")) { echo "file: $file <br> newdir: $newdir <br> domain: $domain <br>"; if (!copy($file, "$newdir/$domain/" . $file)) echo "Error copying file $file<br>"; else echo "<B> I moved $file into $newdir/$domain</B><BR>"; } } ?> That way we can see exactly where the problems is.
