Filesystem 函数
在线手册:中文  英文

copy

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

copy拷贝文件

说明

bool copy ( string $source , string $dest [, resource $context ] )

将文件从 source 拷贝到 dest

如果要移动文件的话,请使用 rename() 函数。

参数

source

源文件路径。

dest

目标路径。如果 dest 是一个 URL,则如果封装协议不支持覆盖已有的文件时拷贝操作会失败。

Warning

如果目标文件已存在,将会被覆盖。

context

A valid context resource created with stream_context_create().

返回值

成功时返回 TRUE, 或者在失败时返回 FALSE

更新日志

版本 说明
5.3.0 增加了对 context 的支持。
4.3.0 如果启用了“fopen wrappers”的话,sourcedest 都可以是 URL。更多细节见 fopen()

范例

Example #1 copy() 例子

<?php
$file 
'example.txt';
$newfile 'example.txt.bak';

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

A nice simple trick if you need to make sure the folder exists first:

<?php

$srcfile
='C:\File\Whatever\Path\Joe.txt';
$dstfile='G:\Shared\Reports\Joe.txt';
mkdir(dirname($dstfile), 0777true);
copy($srcfile$dstfile);

?>

That simple.

I tried to copy a file from /tmp to /var/www/html.
But i always get an permission denied (even after a chmod 0777 to the /var/www/html directory)
After spending a lot of hours searching for my error, I found it.
But not where I thought it....It was the turned on SELinux.
(Fedora 15).So i do a echo 0 >/selinux/enforce and everything works perfect. (Look here for disabling SELinux: http://www.crypt.gen.nz/selinux/disable_selinux.html)

I had to copy a directory but the top level folder name would be different at dest i.e. dirparent/dirchild -> diff/dirchild . I thought I would just copy and rename the destination but you can't rename non empty directories. I wrote this function to work around this:

<?php
function RecursiveCopy($source$dest$diffDir ''){
    
$sourceHandle opendir($source);
    if(!
$diffDir)
            
$diffDir $source;
    
    
mkdir($dest '/' $diffDir);
    
    while(
$res readdir($sourceHandle)){
        if(
$res == '.' || $res == '..')
            continue;
        
        if(
is_dir($source '/' $res)){
            
RecursiveCopy($source '/' $res$dest$diffDir '/' $res);
        } else {
            
copy($source '/' $res$dest '/' $diffDir '/' $res);
            
        }
    }
}
?>

Here is a simple script that I use for removing and copying non-empty directories. Very useful when you are not sure what is the type of a file.

I am using these for managing folders and zip archives for my website plugins.

<?php

// removes files and non-empty directories
function rrmdir($dir) {
  if (
is_dir($dir)) {
    
$files scandir($dir);
    foreach (
$files as $file)
    if (
$file != "." && $file != ".."rrmdir("$dir/$file");
    
rmdir($dir);
  }
  else if (
file_exists($dir)) unlink($dir);


// copies files and non-empty directories
function rcopy($src$dst) {
  if (
file_exists($dst)) rrmdir($dst);
  if (
is_dir($src)) {
    
mkdir($dst);
    
$files scandir($src);
    foreach (
$files as $file)
    if (
$file != "." && $file != ".."rcopy("$src/$file""$dst/$file"); 
  }
  else if (
file_exists($src)) copy($src$dst);
}
?>

Cheers!

My own 'cp -R' written in PHP.

Hopefully it will work for your situation. I'm using it in a web based file manager for my CMS.

<?php

    define
('DS'DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR); // I always use this short form in my code.

    
function copy_r$path$dest )
    {
        if( 
is_dir($path) )
        {
            @
mkdir$dest );
            
$objects scandir($path);
            if( 
sizeof($objects) > )
            {
                foreach( 
$objects as $file )
                {
                    if( 
$file == "." || $file == ".." )
                        continue;
                    
// go on
                    
if( is_dir$path.DS.$file ) )
                    {
                        
copy_r$path.DS.$file$dest.DS.$file );
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        
copy$path.DS.$file$dest.DS.$file );
                    }
                }
            }
            return 
true;
        }
        elseif( 
is_file($path) )
        {
            return 
copy($path$dest);
        }
        else
        {
            return 
false;
        }
    }

you can try this code if you don't having permission to access the shell
this code is alternative for file copy

<?php
$source 
'myfile.doc';
$destination 'clonefile.doc';

$data file_get_contents($source);

$handle fopen($destination"w");
fwrite($handle$data);
fclose($handle);
?>

tomas at slax dot org (2011-01-21 04:09:06)

Very important to note is that copy() handles url wrappers, but sometimes incorrectly. For example, you can copy a file like

<?php
   copy
("http://example.net/file.dat","./local_file.dat");
?>

However, it doesn't work with spaces in filename (as of PHP 5.2.13, please test in newer versions).

<?php
   copy
("http://example.net/file with space.dat","./local_file.dat");
?>

To fix this, you need to replace spaces with %20.

eng-ayman at aymax dot net (2009-08-30 05:48:48)

some hosts disable copy() function and say its for security 

and for some copy is important so this is and simple function that do same as copy function effect 

how smart php can help us l like php 

<?php
    
function copyemz($file1,$file2){
          
$contentx =@file_get_contents($file1);
                   
$openedfile fopen($file2"w");
                   
fwrite($openedfile$contentx);
                   
fclose($openedfile);
                    if (
$contentx === FALSE) {
                    
$status=false;
                    }else 
$status=true;
                    
                    return 
$status;
    }

Here's a simple recursive function to copy entire directories

Note to do your own check to make sure the directory exists that you first call it on.

<?php
function recurse_copy($src,$dst) {
    
$dir opendir($src);
    @
mkdir($dst);
    while(
false !== ( $file readdir($dir)) ) {
        if (( 
$file != '.' ) && ( $file != '..' )) {
            if ( 
is_dir($src '/' $file) ) {
                
recurse_copy($src '/' $file,$dst '/' $file);
            }
            else { 
                
copy($src '/' $file,$dst '/' $file);
            }
        }
    }
    
closedir($dir);
}
?>

When I recently had to copy a few millions of small files (< 1kb) from one NAS to another and for some reasons had to do that file by file I compared the following function with copy($src, $dest) and shell_exec("cp -r $src $dest").

Surprisingly stream_copy seamed to be slightly faster (at least in this specific context).

<?php
    
function stream_copy($src$dest)
    {
        
$fsrc fopen($src,'r');
        
$fdest fopen($dest,'w+');
        
$len stream_copy_to_stream($fsrc,$fdest);
        
fclose($fsrc);
        
fclose($fdest);
        return 
$len;
    }
?>

As far as recursive copy, something like this seems to work fine for me:

<?php
$output 
shell_exec" cp -r -a dir_source/* dir_dest 2>&1 " )
echo 
$output
?>

Of course you need to get all your permissions clear.  You can do the necessary stuff to use variables.

You could also do this to create the destination directory:

<?php
shell_exec
" cp -r -a dir_source dir_dest 2>&1 " )
?>

This will create a new directory called "dir_dest" if it does not already exist. This is a bit risky though if your situation is ambiguous, and you want to continue to make backups etc, 'cause if you do it twice you end up with: 

dir_destination/dir_source

to avoid that one could do something like:

<?php
shell_exec
" mkdir dir_dest;  cp -r -a dir_source/* dir_dest 2>&1 " )
?>

Maybe someone can tell me when or why it would be better to use all that PHP code I see here.

jim dot mcgowen at cox dot net (2008-07-14 10:50:42)

On Windows (not sure about Linux) copy will overwrite an existing file but will not change the case of the existing filename.
In other words if I have a file named "Myfile.txt" and I overwrite it using copy with a file named "MyFile.txt" it will overwrite it but the filename will remain "Myfile.txt".
If this is a problem (as it was for me) use unlink to delete the existing file first.

steve a h (2008-06-20 02:44:13)

Don't forget; you can use copy on remote files, rather than doing messy fopen stuff.  e.g.

<?php
if(!@copy('http://someserver.com/somefile.zip','./somefile.zip'))
{
    
$errorserror_get_last();
    echo 
"COPY ERROR: ".$errors['type'];
    echo 
"<br />\n".$errors['message'];
} else {
    echo 
"File copied from remote!";
}
?>

tom at r dot je (2008-06-18 08:30:29)

It's worth noting that copy() sets the destination file's last modified time/date.

jtaylor -at- ashevillenc -dot- com (2007-02-13 12:48:37)

It seems as though you can only use move_uploaded_file() once on a temporary file that has been uploaded through a form. Most likely the action this function takes destroys the temporary file after it has been moved, assuming permanent placement on a file system.
Attempting to use the function again in the same PHP script will return false and not move the file.
I ran into this when an image that was uploaded did not need resizing (smaller than a size threshold) and after moving the temporary upload to the "originals" directory, an attempt was made to again move the temporary file to another folder.
This behavior is understandable, but be careful - in this instance, I simply used copy() on the file that was already uploaded.

mspreij (2007-01-27 08:20:42)

This function creates a new filename to use for a copy of the given filename, its behaviour was mostly sto^Wborrowed from how the OS X Finder (*1) does it.
Note it *doesn't* actually copy the file, it just returns the new name. I needed it to work regardless of data source (filesystem, ftp, etc).

It also tries to match the current name as neatly as possible:
foo.txt -> foo copy.txt -> foo copy 1.txt -> foo copy 2.txt [etc]
foo.bar.baz.jpg -> foo.bar.baz copy.jpg
foobar -> foobar copy -> foobar copy 1 [etc]
".txt" -> .txt copy, and "txt." -> txt. copy
file.longextension -> file.longextension copy

It keeps trying until it finds a name that is not yet taken in $list, or until it looped 500 times (change as needed).

If the renamed file becomes longer than max filename length, it starts chopping away at the end of the part before where it adds " copy": reallylong...filename.txt -> reallylong...filena copy.txt

<?php

// $orig = current name, of course
// $list = array of filenames in the target directory (if none given, it will still return a new name)

}elseif(preg_match('/ copy$/'$name$digits)) {

}
    if (

      if (
strlen($newname) > $max) {
        
$newname substr($newname0max($max $cutlen0)) . substr($newname, -$cutlen);
        if (
strlen($newname) > $max) {echo "duplicate_name() error: Can't keep the new name under given max length.\n"; return false;}
      }
    }
    if (
$counter++ > 500) {echo "duplicate_name() error: Too many similarly named files or infinite while loop.\n"; return false;}
  } while (
in_array($newname$list));
  return 
$newname;
}

?>

*1) The Finder seems to check the extension vs a list of known extensions, this function considers it valid if it's 5 or fewer characters long.

ps. sorry for taking up so much space! :-)

Just some caveats for people to consider when working with this copy function. Like everyone else, I needed a recursive copy function, so I wrote one.
It worked great until I hit a file greater than 2GB, at which point I got a File Size Exceeded error. I've read that you can recompile PHP with larger file support, but I'm not able to do this on my system.
So I used exec to copy one file at a time (I need to do other things to the file, so can't just do an exec with "cp -r"). Then I ran into problems with spaces in the names. The escapeshellcmd and escapeshellargs functions don't seem to cleanup spaces, so I wrote my own function to do that.

cooper at asu dot ntu-kpi dot kiev dot ua (2006-03-09 16:32:59)

It take me a long time to find out what the problem is when i've got an error on copy(). It DOESN'T create any directories. It only copies to existing path. So create directories before. Hope i'll help,

info at sameprecision dot org (2005-01-28 15:54:21)

When using copy on win32 (don't know about anywhere else),  copy sets the 'last modified time' of the the new copy to the current time instead of that of the source (win32 copy preserves last modified time).  If you are tracking backups by last modified time, use:

<?php

copy
($src$dest); touch($destfilemtime($src));

?>

simonr_at_orangutan_dot_co_dot_uk (2004-09-03 01:54:02)

Having spent hours tacking down a copy() error: Permission denied , (and duly worrying about chmod on winXP) , its worth pointing out that the 'destination' needs to contain the actual file name ! --- NOT just the path to the folder you wish to copy into.......
DOH !
hope this saves somebody hours of fruitless debugging

kadnan at yahoo dot com (2004-08-29 22:30:31)

you can also try xcopy command by using Shell to move/copy files/folders from one place to another
here is the code:
