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

Here's what we use at our company:

static public function copyr($source, $dest)
{
    // recursive function to copy
    // all subdirectories and contents:
    if(is_dir($source)) {
        $dir_handle=opendir($source);
        $sourcefolder = basename($source);
        mkdir($dest."/".$sourcefolder);
        while($file=readdir($dir_handle)){
            if($file!="." && $file!=".."){
                if(is_dir($source."/".$file)){
                    self::copyr($source."/".$file, $dest."/".$sourcefolder);
                } else {
                    copy($source."/".$file, $dest."/".$file);
                }
            }
        }
        closedir($dir_handle);
    } else {
        // can also handle simple copy commands
        copy($source, $dest);
    }
}
