note 55130 added to function.copy

A function that copies contents of source directory to destination directory and sets up file modes. It may be handy to install the whole site on hosting. <?php // copydirr.inc.php /* 26.07.2005 Author: Anton Makarenko makarenkoa at ukrpost dot net webmaster at eufimb dot edu dot ua */ function copydirr($fromDir,$toDir,$chmod=0757,$verbose=false) /* copies everything from directory $fromDir to directory $toDir and sets up files mode $chmod */ { //* Check for some errors $errors=array(); $messages=array(); if (!is_writable($toDir)) $errors[]='target '.$toDir.' is not writable'; if (!is_dir($toDir)) $errors[]='target '.$toDir.' is not a directory'; if (!is_dir($fromDir)) $errors[]='source '.$fromDir.' is not a directory'; if (!empty($errors)) { if ($verbose) foreach($errors as $err) echo '<strong>Error</strong>: '.$err.'<br />'; return false; } //*/ $exceptions=array('.','..'); //* Processing $handle=opendir($fromDir); while (false!==($item=readdir($handle))) if (!in_array($item,$exceptions)) { //* cleanup for trailing slashes in directories destinations $from=str_replace('//','/',$fromDir.'/'.$item); $to=str_replace('//','/',$toDir.'/'.$item); //*/ if (is_file($from)) { if (@copy($from,$to)) { chmod($to,$chmod); touch($to,filemtime($from)); // to track last modified time $messages[]='File copied from '.$from.' to '.$to; } else $errors[]='cannot copy file from '.$from.' to '.$to; } if (is_dir($from)) { if (@mkdir($to)) { chmod($to,$chmod); $messages[]='Directory created: '.$to; } else $errors[]='cannot create directory '.$to; copydirr($from,$to,$chmod,$verbose); } } closedir($handle); //*/ //* Output if ($verbose) { foreach($errors as $err) echo '<strong>Error</strong>: '.$err.'<br />'; foreach($messages as $msg) echo $msg.'<br />'; } //*/ return true; } /* sample usage: WARNING: if You set wrong $chmod then You'll not be able to access files and directories in destination directory. For example: once upon a time I've called the function with parameters: copydir($fromDir,$toDir,true); What happened? I've forgotten one parameter (chmod) What happened next? Those files and directories became inaccessible for me (they had mode 0001), so I had to ask sysadmin to delete them from root account Be careful :-) <?php require('./copydirr.inc.php'); copydirr('./testSRC','D:/srv/Apache2/htdocs/testDEST',0777,true); ?> */ ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.copy.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+55130 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55130&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55130&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55130&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55130&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55130&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55130&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+55130&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
