Hello im trying to figure out how to use the copy command and wondering if someone can help me out. Im looking to create a directory from register and copy files there on creation. Ive got most of it completed but cant seem to get the copy function working.


what should i type after

mkdir("$username", 0777)

to copy a file named random.php to directory $username

PHP Code:

copy('randon.php', "$username/random.php"); 


Should work.

mkdir("$username", 0777) 
copy('random.php', "$username/random.php");

yeah i tried that before and i keep getting this error


Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/user/public_html/add.php on line 58

the copy command is on line 58

mkdir("$username", 0777)

Should be...

mkdir("$username", 0777);

Whenever you get an error like this, the first thing you should do is check the line above the line specified in the error. Always check for a missing semi-colon

AHA! That was the problem i was having! How embaressing. Well thanks alot guys for your replys.

Not embarrasing, common. I have been doing this for a while now and still miss semi-colons.
