Author Copy files and folders from one directory into another
Frank

2004-05-21, 6:30 pm

I have files in myurl.com/myfolder

and I would like to copy all of them into

myurl.com/newfolder

I'd like to copy all of the subdirectories and files that are in
/myfolder

and I would like to be able to use a form of some sort to name the
file I want to copy, and create the folder I'd like to copy it to,
such as newfolder.

How can I use a form to create a new folder on the server?

How can I use a form to name the old folder I want to copy everything
from, then create the name of the new folder I want to copy everything
into, and then copy?

If anyone can help, I'd be VERY appricative.

Thank you.

Now, why don't you just rename myfolder to newfolder?

in php something like system('mv myfolder newfolder');
and probably there are some native php functions too...
