PHP - Moved: Php Open Directory [windows 7]

I'm trying to copy an existing file using a php script, run on the command line.
I've tried copy() and also a script from the comments on copy() http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.copy.php#102320

No matter how I try to open the file I get " failed to open stream: No such file or directory".
I tried changing the name of the file, and the ext, and both.
The file does exist, and if I run cp old new, the file gets copied fine.

Current code
Code: [Select]
<?php
$source = '/www/documents/myfile.pdf';
$destination = '/www/documents/mypdf.pdf.bak';
copy($source, $destination);
?>

Warning: copy(/www/documents/myfile.pdf): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /www/cron/historic.php on line 3

Code: [Select]
~$ ls /www/hua/compucom113dev/client/documents/
myfile.pdf
~$ cp /www/documents/myfile.pdf /www/documents/myfile.pdf.bak
~$ ls /www/hua/compucom113dev/client/documents/
myfile.pdf
myfile.pdf.bak

I had chmod in the script at one point to make sure the directory had the permissions needed but it didn't make a difference so I removed it. I can add it back if someone can help explain what to set it to. I was doing 0777 then back to 0755 at the end.

Hello, this is my first post I hope you guys can help me out here, basically whats going on is I declare a variable "$diree" then I insert it in a function  but its not getting recognized, here is the code:

$institutea "some directory";
$dire = str_replace(" ","-",$institutea);


   # SETTINGS
   $max_width = 110;
   $max_height = 130;
   
   $per_page = 5;
   $page = $_GET['page'];
   
   $has_previous = false;
   $has_next = false;
   
   function getPictures() {
      global $page, $per_page, $has_previous, $has_next;
      if ( $handle = opendir($diree.'/') ) { // done changes here
         $lightbox = rand();
?><table border="1"><tr><td>
         <form action="pro.php" method="post">
      
            
            
         <?php
         echo "<ul id='pictures'>";
         
         $count = 1;
         $skip = $page * $per_page;

         if ( $skip != 0 )
            $has_previous = true;
         
         while ( $count < $skip && ($file = readdir($handle)) !== false ) {
            if ( !is_dir($file) && ($type = getPictureType($file)) != '' )
               $count++;
         }
         $count = 1;
         while ( $count < $per_page && ($file = readdir($handle)) !== false ) {
            if ( !is_dir($file) && ($type = getPictureType($file)) != '' ) {
            
               if ( ! is_dir($dire .'/') ) {  // done changes here
                  mkdir($dire .'/'); // done changes here
               }
               if ( ! file_exists($dire .'/'.$file) ) {
                  makeThumb( $file, $type );
               }
               
               
               echo '<li>';
               echo '<img src="'.$dire .'/'.$file.'" alt="" / width="110" height="110"><br/><input type="checkbox" name="food[]" value='.$file.'>'; // done changes here

   }
   
   function getPictureType($file) {
      $split = explode($dire .'/', $file);

Hey all,

I viewed this tutorial and the guy used $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] to reference a view layout for his specific index file. So I tried to imitate and did exactly what he did, but for me I got the following error:
Code: [Select]
Warning: include(/Users/jmerlino/Sites/mark/public/diet/views/layouts/shop.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Users/jmerlino/Sites/diet/index.php on line 22

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '/Users/jmerlino/Sites/mark/public/diet/views/layouts/shop.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php') in /Users/jmerlino/Sites/diet/index.php on line 22
This is the php code that is causing this error:

include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/'.'diet/views/layouts/'.$controller.'.php');

I'm not sure why it's going to:
/Users/jmerlino/Sites/mark/public/diet/views/layouts/shop.php
instead of:
/Users/jmerlino/Sites/diet/views/layouts/shop.php

Thanks for any response

My images generator comprises an array of image names extracted form an images table from a database using a select statement a random number generator, and a string that builds the correct pathname for the selected file. To select one of the images for display, i generate a random number between 1 and the length of the array. Though the generator is working, I noticed one of the random numbers is throwing up this error: Warning: getimagesize(images/): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in An inspection of the array reveals 2 array elements (representing my number of images) but one array element is NULL ( the first entry in the banner table   image_generator.php

require_once('connection.inc.php');
    $sql = 'SELECT `filename` FROM  banner';
    $result = $mysqli->query($sql, MYSQLI_STORE_RESULT) or die(mysqli_error());
    $row = $result->fetch_array(MYSQLI_ASSOC);//an array of image names
    $count = $result->num_rows;
    for ($i = 1; $i <= $count; ++$i) 
    {
       $row[$i] = $result->fetch_array(MYSQLI_ASSOC);
    }
    $i = rand(1, $count); //a random number generator,
       //The random number is used in the final line to build the correct pathname for the selected file.
       $selectedImage = "images/{$row[$i]['filename']}"; 
      if (file_exists($selectedImage) && is_readable($selectedImage)) 
      {
        $imageSize = getimagesize($selectedImage);
      }

var_dump($row)

array (size=1)
    'filename' => string 'ginsomin2.jpg' (length=13)
    null

RANDON IMAGE DISPLAY

require_once 'image_generator.php';
<div id="banner" class="wrapper clearfix">
      <img src="<?php echo $selectedImage; ?>" alt="banner">
   </div>

Kindly advice how i may proceed from here? Thanks.
