PHP - File Copy
So my hosting server does not allow fopen anymore, so I was wondering if anyone had an alternative to copying a file from a remote server via a URL to a local folder?
Any alternatives is apprecited. Similar Tutorialshey guys its me again. what i want is for me to be able to edit php using variables and post it as a new file. now to attchieve this i am simply copying the current template into the php file and telling it to grap what variables it needs. i have successfully done this with a .css file but when im doing it with a php file its erroring at <?php as the file is already in php. what i need to know is can i have the php file look at the <?php as just text to write to a file? my code is below Code: [Select] $dir = "../Header/"; $file = "" . $branchid . ".php"; $dir = "$dir"."$file"; touch($dir); $Handle = fopen($dir, 'w'); $Data = " <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <?php //We count the number of new messages the user has $nb_new_pm = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query('select count(*) as nb_new_pm from pm where ((user1="'.$_SESSION['user_id'].'" and user1read="no") or (user2="'.$_SESSION['user_id'].'" and user2read="no")) and id2="1"')); //The number of new messages is in the variable $nb_new_pm $nb_new_pm = $nb_new_pm['nb_new_pm']; ?> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <style type="text/css"> /* Remove margins from the 'html' and 'body' tags, and ensure the page takes up full screen height */ html, body { margin:0; padding:0;} /* Set the position and dimensions of the background image. */ #page-background {position:fixed; top:0; left:0; width:100%; height:100%;} /* Specify the position and layering for the content that needs to appear in front of the background image.

fwrite($Handle, $Data); $Data = "Bilbo Jones\n"; fwrite($Handle, $Data); print "Data Written"; fclose($Handle); Hi all I am trying to write a piece of code that copies files from a multiple selected form. Here's the form: Code: [Select] <form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type="file" name="image[]" multiple="multiple" /> <input name="submit" type="submit" value="submit"> </form> Here's my PHP code: Code: [Select] if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { $count=0; foreach($_FILES['image'] as $filename){ copy($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], WEB_UPLOAD."/images/galleries/".$filename) or die("Error uploading image "); $count++; } } I get the message, Array to string conversion and no such directory found. Am I right in thinking I am sending the files as arrays? Many thanks for your help. I am trying from several hours to sort and issue but i donno what the problem.. this is the following code i am using mkdir("news_upload/$year/$month/$day",0777); touch("news_upload/$year/$month/$day/$title.php"); chmod("news_upload/$year/$month/$day/$title.php",0777); $template = "news_template.php"; $new = "news_upload/$year/$month/$day/$title.php"; copy($template,$new); I have created the directories and given the permission the made a new empty file.. i added permissions to the new made file.. but it didnt apply as i check it.. (PROBLEM) then i have a template designed with the name news_template.php wanted to copy this template to the new created file.. the file gets created.. but the new file is not copying the template file on itself.. have i done anything rong??? help please? Hi Have searched this and other forums for an answer to this and found lots of similar questions but nothing dealing with exactly what I'm after. I want to copy a file located in parent/dir1/file.pdf (for example) to another directory parent/dir2/id/file.pdf. This is straightforward enough using copy(). But... I don't want users to be able to access the original file directly (eg by just putting /parent/dir1/file.pdf into their browser. The only way I seem to be able to do this is by removing the 'read' permission, but then the copy() command gives an error. If this is possible, I assume the solution is somehow linked to the various file and directory permissions but I can't figure out the correct settings. Can someone help out? Thanks in advance Hello I have a problem. I have been trying to copy my music folders structure but not copying the mp3s; instead using the file names as a file name for a .txt file and inserting the URL to the file in the .txt file. Eg. E:\My Music folder 1 folder 1.1 file.mp3 folder 2 folder 3 to G:\My Music folder 1 folder 1.1 file.txt folder 2 folder 3 and inside "file.txt" would be one line saying "http://www.xxx.com/my_music/file.mp3 Seems this should be easy, but I'm not finding the solution. Functions like scandir, readdir, and glob that I've been looking at all seem to need me to actually know more about my directory path than I can ahead of time. Here's what I want to do: 1. expand a .tar file (consists of directory, subdirectories, files, and is variable) that I've uploaded to the server 2. look through that expanded directory for a subdirectory named ".pn" -- (note that all my .tar files will have this folder deep in several subdirectories that will be variable in number and have different names depending on the original .tar file) 3. copy the entire contents of the .pn folder to another folder already on my server The hosting company, no doubt, has likely blocked some of the functions I'll need as well, but if someone can point me in the right direction to start, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Satre i have 200 photos in a folder .. can i move random a photo to with changing photo name anoter file Hi guys, I am wirting a script to upload an image file, but I get the error: copy() [function.copy]: Filename cannot be empty in Obviouly it has something to do with the copy() function - (copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['product_img']['tmp_name'], $path)) I think it is not copying from my temp folder or something. Can anyone help me out? Code is: Code: [Select] //IMAGE FILE $file_name = $_FILES['product_img']['name']; echo '<p>File Name:' . $file_name . '</p>'; //IMAGE UPLOAD // random 4 digit to add to file name $random_digit=rand(0000,9999); //combine random digit to file name to create new file name //use dot (.) to combile these two variables $new_image_name = $random_digit.$file_name; echo $new_image_name; //SET DESINATION FOLDER $path= "uploads/".$new_image_name; echo '<p>Path:' . $path . '</p>'; if($product_img !=none) { if(copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['product_img']['tmp_name'], $path)) { echo "Successful<BR/>"; echo "File Name :".$new_file_name."<BR/>"; echo "File Size :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['product_img']['size']."<BR/>"; echo "File Type :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['product_img']['type']."<BR/>"; } else { echo "Image upload Error<BR/>"; } } Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Ok I am designing a php upload that will take a image file from a form and change the name of the file to the productnumber also recieved from the form. I had it working the otherday now it says Warning: copy() [function.copy]: open_basedir restriction in effect File() is not within the allowed path(s): (/home:/tmp:/usr) addpro.php on line 51. my files are attached.... note that $pnum is the product number gotten from my form and image is the image being uploaded gotten from the form also. The thing is it worked the other day but now it don't is it a change to the server ( I dont run the server) or did I mess up my code since then? I really need a code that will do this two time over once for a small image being put into a folder called small and once for a folder called large both images being uploaded and being changed to $pnum.ext so they will both be displayed when being called out by the product number. but I can work on that after I get this one working. line 51 is $copied = copy($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $newname); This was generated through phpFormGenerator, but I'm getting the following warning message when a file is not uploaded. I didn't set it as a required field. "Warning: copy() [function.copy]: Filename cannot be empty ..." If it possible to skip this check since it's not supposed to be required to upload a file? I'm simply trying to make a contact form that emails basic information with the added option of attaching a file/picture. Code: [Select] <?php include("global.inc.php"); $errors=0; $error="The following errors occured while processing your form input.<ul>"; pt_register('POST','FullName'); pt_register('POST','Email'); pt_register('POST','Phone'); pt_register('POST','QuestionsorComments'); $QuestionsorComments=preg_replace("/(\015\012)|(\015)|(\012)/"," <br />", $QuestionsorComments);$AttachPictureforQuote=$HTTP_POST_FILES['AttachPictureforQuote']; pt_register('POST','Howdidyoufindus'); if($FullName=="" || $Email=="" ){ $errors=1; $error.="<li>You did not enter one or more of the required fields.

I came across the PHP clone method. Does this clone first level fields and methods or does it also do deep copying e.g. copying references to those fields. For example, a field may be an array. Does it make a copy of the actual array or does it refer to the same array position in memory, so if the original changes, then the copy's changes as well?
Hello everyone, so I made this script that creates directories via "a hack around" cPanel, on my own server, in order to create directories via my own software, but I also need to copy files from one directory into that newly created directory... Therein lies the problem... I created a script a few years ago that worked, but for the life of me I can't remember how I enabled myself to be able to use the copy function of php... Anybody know? hey, can some one provide a code to help me copy a folder called contents with files in it to another folder called items cheers Hello freaks, I am currently creating a member system that will place a default handle image into a newly registered members file. I have used the mkdir function create the directory successfully based on the members ID, but I can't get the copy function to work. Code: Code: [Select] mkdir("memberFiles/$memberID", 0755); $old = 'images/defaultlogo.jpg'; $new = 'memberFiles/$memberID/logo.jpg'; copy($old, $new); Error Message: Warning: copy(memberFiles/$memberID/logo.jpg) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory Lastly, this folder is created to store members files. hey people i cant get copy() to work. im working on an online server and trying to copy a file into directories i just created. i read about fopen() having to be enabled if both source and destination files are urls, and fopen is enabled and both files are urls (and on the same server). the directories get created but the file doesnt get copied. the directories have permission 777. could it be that when i call the copy function the directories aren't yet available on the server? i am copying the file in the same code block as 'create folders', right after. any pointers? I have a DB with 10 fields Records are entered under a date There can be 1 to 30 records for a given date I need to copy all records of a given date with the 10 fields of each... Into the same DB only changing the original date to a new date Sounds easy, but so far I haven't been able to make it work. Any nudge in the right directiion would be much appreciated. Hello, im new to php and I would appreciate help with this one.... Error code is Warning: copy() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /path/to/file/http.class.php on line 143 Error block Code: [Select] if (count($_FILES) > 0) { foreach ($_FILES as $name => $file) { if ($file['tmp_name']) { $newfile=dirname(__FILE__).'/../cache/'.$file['name']; $newfiles[]=$newfile; copy ($file['tmp_name'],$newfile); if ($file['tmp_name']) $this->post[$name]='@'.$newfile; } } } Line 143 Code: [Select] copy ($file['tmp_name'],$newfile); hi i made my very first array, and its working great now i want to have another array wich does the same thing, but on another category, it shows gold silver and bronze logos, but now i want to give leaders of other categorys also those logos, but different ones so i thought i change from $array[$snipergameid][$x] = $sniperleaders[playerid]; (part of the code in a while loop) into $array2[$snipergameid][$x] = $sniperleaders[playerid]; (part of the code in a while loop) and i do the same for the result checker loops but that doesnt work so how do i copy an entire arrray, and give it another name to match it with the correct while loop checker? (Posted this in the MySQL section, but i think the php section might be the proper place)
I have a webshop db where i want to export some things linke order information to another external db on another server etc.
Example of things to move:
Table1 - orderid - orderdate Table2 - adress - shippingmethodI ONLY want it to export and import things that is not currently there. How can this be done in a php script? Hi I have a script Code: [Select] mkdir("myitems/images", 0777); chmod("myitems/images", 0777); if (!copy('downloads.zip', 'myitems/images/downloads.zip')) { echo "failed"; } when I run it, the folder is created and when checking folder permissions, it shows 777 but it fails on copying the file. if I manually create the folder "myitems/images/" and set it to 777, then when I run the script, the file is copied for some reason when I manually create the folder it works, but when PHP creates the folder, it fails on something any ideas? racking my brain trying to figure out why |
