How to copy a file from one directory to another using PHP

I've got a file test.php in foo directory as well as bar. How can I replace bar/test.php with foo/test.php using PHP? I'm on Windows XP, a cross platform solution would be great but windows preferred.

Hello @kartik,

You could use the copy() function :

// Will copy foo/test.php to bar/test.php
// overwritting it if necessary
copy('foo/test.php', 'bar/test.php');

Hope it helps!!

Thank You!!

Simply,

$source = 'Source_file_location'
        $destination = 'Destination_file_location'
        copy( $source, $destination )
