                                     copy

   (PHP 3, PHP 4 )
   copy -- Copies file

Description

   bool copy ( string source, string dest)

   Makes a copy of the file source to dest. Returns TRUE on success or
   FALSE on failure.

   Example 1. copy() example
   <?php
   if (!copy($file, $file.'.bak')) {
       echo "failed to copy $file...<br />\n";
   }
   ?>

     Note: As of PHP 4.3.0, both source and dest may be URLs if the
     "fopen wrappers" have been enabled. See fopen() for more details.
     If dest is an URL, the copy operation may fail if the wrapper does
     not support overwriting of existing files.

   Warning

   If the destination file already exists, it will be overwritten.

   See also move_uploaded_file(), rename(), and the section of the manual
   about handling file uploads.
