Copy a folder into another
显示 更早的评论
Hello, new user here.
Very basic question...I want to copy a folder which is on the same level (hence outside) of the current folder and paste it in a subfolder of the current folder. I've tried it and by using the status function the result is "1". So, it was a successful operation. The problem is that the only thing it was coppied were the files inside the copied folder and not the folder and its contents.
How can I do it.
Thanks

copyfile('../../oldDirectoryName','newDirectoryName')
Set the new name to be identical to the old one, if you want to retain the same name.
Use more or fewer sets of '../', depending on the number of levels away it is in the directory structure.

The folder that is one level up from the current folder appears to designate the parent of the current folder. You want to copy it and all its children into a new folder in the current folder. As the current folder is a child of its parent, that means the current folder must be copied into a child of itself, and since it contains that child, the child folder must be copied into the child folder, and since that is a child of the current folder it has to be copied...
In other words, you are creating an infinite loop.
Do you possibly mean you want to copy a folder that has the same level as the current folder, like C:\A and C:\B are at the same level?
