PHP - Copying Content

I want to copy everything in templates/blue to the folder code/

However:

shell_exec("cp -r 'templates/blue' 'code'");

Creates a folder called blue inside code. I tried cp -r 'templates/blue/*' 'code', but that didn't do anything.

Any ideas?

Ok fellas....this one has me stumped. 


I am trying to copy a whole bunch of pictures from one directory into a new directory.  However, the new directory will store the images based upon the user's id.  Initially I stored all the images in one directory.  HUGE mistake..  That single directory is over 5GB and takes and eternity to open and edit the files for 1 single user.  So I need to separate them out.

Anyways, here is what I am trying to do in theory.

All the information about the user and the file they uploaded is stored in my database.  But how do I create a script that is somewhat dynamic?  One that will refresh the copy file script for each result.

Here is the general idea....or a conversation starter code i am working with so far.

Code: [Select]
<?php

include 'db_connect.php';


$userId=2;

          // Make the directory that will store the users images with the desired folder structure
          $structure = './images/' .$userId. '';

          // create the directory and set permissions
          if (!mkdir($structure, 0777, true)) {
              die('Failed to create folder');
              chmod($structure, 0777);
          }

//Query the database for the images
$query_image = "SELECT *
FROM images
                WHERE angler=$userId
ORDER BY submit_id DESC";
 
$image_result = mysql_query($query_image) or die(mysql_error());

// get count of how many rows in case we need that info
$rowCount = mysql_num_rows($image_result);

//get the results into an array by setting each result as a variable
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($image_result))
   $galleryresults[]= $row;


          //now move files
          $file = './submitted_pics/{$galleryresults[0]['image']}';
          $newfile = './images/' .$userId. '/{$galleryresults[0]['image']}';

          if (!copy($file, $newfile)) {
              echo "failed to copy $file...\n";
          }

?>

Ok, I would just like some advice on how to go about doing something.

A website that alot of my friends use to make their builds in-game goes down frequently causing them not to be able to pull up their build information. I would like to be able to use php to copy not only the html source, but the images as well to my websvr to be able to view when their site is offline.

Now I know I could simply just click page -> save as complete html  in internet explorer and then upload that... However I don't want to have to do that for everyone stuff.. its time consuming.. I was hoping to automate the process with a script.

I know how to get the html source from a website, but I don't know how to pull the content "pictures ect." to make it actually look like their site and have more than just text.

I'll appreciate any advice you can give, I think some simple direction should be enough to get me going.

I'm trying to allow a user to upload an image, and have that image copied to an Image folder on the server
When I run the code I get the success message near the bottom of the code, but the image never gets copied to the folder. I'm not sure what's causing it to not copy the image

if($_POST["store"] != "") // if upload was hit
{
$fileExt = strrchr($_FILES['userfile']['name'], "."); // grab extension
if($fileExt != ".jpg" && $fileExt != ".jpeg") // check extension
{
$_SESSION["badFileType"] = "You cannot upload a file of type ".$fileExt; // set error
}
else
{
$fileName = $_FILES['userfile']['name']; // set file name
if(!is_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'])) 
{
echo "Problem: possible file upload attack!"; // set error
exit(); // end
}

$upfile = "../Images/lg_".$category.$counter.".jpg"; // set path
$newFileName = $category.$counter.".jpg"; // set new file name
if(!copy($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $upfile)) // if not able to copy
{
echo "Problem: file could not be copied to directory!"; // set error
exit(); // end
}
$_SESSION["badfileType"] = "File uploaded successfully!"; // set success message
}
}
else
{
$_SESSION["badFileType"] = ""; // clear error
}
