note 37082 added to function.copy

Some servers may produce errors when you try to copy into a folder with an existing file in there already. Instead of overwriting the file, you may get "PERMISSION DENIED" error messages. In order to solve the problem, I ran a file_exists() function to check if there are any existing, matching files inside the destination folder. If so, then we delete the file first (using the unlink() function) before we perform the copy() operations into the destination folder. Eg: $source_file = "path/to/source/file"; $destination_file = "path/to/destination/file"; if (file_exists($destination_file)) { unlink ($destination_file); } copy ($source_file, $destination_file); -mike tee- ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.copy.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+37082 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+37082&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+37082&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
