Recursive Copy of Directory

Question

On my old VPS I was using the following code to copy the files and directories within a directory to a new directory that was created after the user submitted their form.

Answer 1

Try something like this:

$source = "dir/dir/dir";
$dest= "dest/dir";

mkdir($dest, 0755);
foreach (
 $iterator = new \RecursiveIteratorIterator(
  new \RecursiveDirectoryIterator($source, \RecursiveDirectoryIterator::SKIP_DOTS),
  \RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST) as $item
) {
  if ($item->isDir()) {
    mkdir($dest . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $iterator->getSubPathName());
  } else {
    copy($item, $dest . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $iterator->getSubPathName());
  }
}

Iterator iterate through all folders and subfolders and make copy of files from $source to $dest
