note 56937 deleted from function.file-exists by cmb

Note Submitter: phenbach at phenbach dot com ---- I recently had an issue with PLESK and copying file to other directories with the move_uploaded file function. This would work on every linux server except plesk servers. I could figure it out and have yet to find out. I had to create a work a round and decided to use the exec() function. As noted above the file_exist() function must need to wait for some time and I found the looking function a waste of resouces and didn't work for me anyway. So this is what I came up with. function cp($source,$destination){ $cmd="cp -u ".$source ." ".$destination; //create the command string to copy with the update option exec($cmd); //exec command $cmd_test="ls -la ".$destination; //list file exec($cmd_test,$out); //If the file is present it $out[0] key will contain the file info. //if it is not present it will be null if (isset($out[0])){ return true; }else{ return false; } }
