Error: Unable To Cache A Remote File Using Copy
I used the following code to copy a remote file to my server: copy($URL,$cachefile); This worked very well on my old server, but it does not work on the new one. I am getting the following error: Unable to open 'http://[...]' for reading: No such file or directory in /local/copyfile.php on line 23 I searched for more than two hours, but I have not found the solution. On the php.net I found the following: Note: As of PHP 4.3.0, both source and dest may be URLs if the "fopen wrappers" have been enabled. I am using PHP 4.2., though I don't think that this is the reason, why it does not work.
Creating Dir, Copy Files And Pass Variables To 2 Files
I need to create a folder on the server weekly named by the user. To this folder copy the contents of an /Original folder. Inside the new folder edit one of the files to insert a data with a XML path generated in another application, copied (via memory) and pasted within the very first form and passed to the file in question. <param name="FlashVars" value="xmlfile= $lanofile" /> the $lanofile is the value that I need to pass from the form to be read by this file. I have created an form (n.php) that POST the name of the folder to a second file (creatdir.php) everything is cool until I have to edit the third file. How can I pass the value of one of the formfileds to a second file and them read this value as a variable to be consumed as mentioned above? Or actually right whatever is on the third field to this position (not using variables).

Filectime() For Remote Files?
Is there a function that will give me the same output as filectime(), on remote files? What I'm trying to do is check the last time a remote file was modified, and if it's different from the stored time that I have for it, the file is downloaded and overwrites the local file. I've done pretty much everything except retrieving when the remote file was last modified.

Reading Remote Files
I'm attempting to read a remote file and parse it for data. The problem I'm having is that the file seems to be generated by Perl (http://alert.dot.pima.gov/scripts/1brpssd.pl) and when I read it the script-generated data is not displayed. When I view the page with a browser the data is displayed just fine. I've tried using the built-in PHP commands to read the file (file, fget) as well as the all of the Snoopy "fetch" classes

I Can Upload Files Anywhere Except My Remote Root Folder
Im working on a project with PHP that allows users to upload pictures to my server and then reference them. After going through some uploading tutorials I have the uploading part working Except! I cant upload folders to my remote root folder. I need to allow the users to upload somewhere inside the root folder so they can reference the pictures in code after. Just to clarify the uploading works perfectly if I put the uploads folder anywhere on my computer except the sites remote root folder (or anywhere inside the root folder) I also beleive I am giving the folder all of the proper permissions because I am giving the uploads folder in my root directory (the one that doesnt work) the same permissions as the one outside the root (the one that works) Code:
Download Files From Remote Server To Local Webserver
I am trying to create a php page whereby people can download files from a remote server to their own server (to update their webdirectory with updated files/images etc). So for example one php page (e.g. update.php) should be able to download files from a remote server to a specific directory on their local webserver. Is this possible?

Copy A File From A Different Url
Hi I am trying to copy a file froma different url but failing! I am trying - copy ("http://www.site.com/image.jpg" , "temp.jpg"); but getting an ' Unable to open 'http://www.olgaedwards.com/photos/2041.jpg' for reading: No such file or directory' error. Strange because it exists and - $file = fopen("http://www.site.com/image.jpg" , "rb"); works ok! I even tried - $file = fopen("http://www.site.com/image.jpg" , "rb"); copy ($file , "temp.jp"); But the same error.
Copy On Server
I think you haven't enough permission of your webserver is running. in iis an anoymous user is assigned when running a webserver. you need to change that user anoymous to a specific user and assigned that user in full permission to access your path. the system is running your php.exe ie php. so php.exe need to have full access to write or read that specific path. may be you havn't enough privilidge to read that path. check your systems security settings on this issue. apache2triad is a third party software i don't like to work in this env. try an exclusive machine and install php and webserver. Here is the code.....
Copy A String
Im trying write a script that will do this: I provide a directory location. The script scans all the files in a directory, oldest to newest. In each file it looks for the word [QUOTE]. It counts forward until it finds [/QUOTE]. Then it copies the counted characters. It opens a file titled quotes.txt and runs a scan to see if that particular quote is in there. If it is not, it pastes it. If it is, it drops that copied text and returns to the scan. Im a bit stuck on the copy part. Once I find the text, how do I copy it?

Move_uploaded_file() Vs Copy()
Aside from the diffrences referenced in php.net is there anything different between copy() and move_uploaded_file() that would somehow alter uploaded files, .jpgs especially? I have built an CMS that has worked fine for years. The public side is Flash. For certain reasons I have had to change my PHP to use move_uploaded_file() instead of copy(). Now any files I move with move_uploaded_file() make them unavailbe to Flash. When I check the server directories my .jpgs are where they are supposed to be and they are titled as expected. Also I am sure the uploaded .jpgs are not progressive.

COPY Command
Currently, I have a routine with the file command, & a foreach loop to save the file (append) to another file.. HOWEVER.. I've come accross a situation where one of my 'source' files is over 17 Megs, & my script times out... (im not echoing anything to the screen / cron jobs...) QUERY1 :- I cant see anywhere if the copy command can APPEND to an existing file ? (or does it just 'copy' - & replace whatevers there ?) Is there any other way - that I can 'append' files together - without timing out ? - PS - im re-running the entire process from the start - (just in case) - to see if the file is still 17 megs (its compiled from 900- other files - a summary file)

Copy Image
I'd like to copy a file, lock, stock and barrel to another location - copy, not move. I was just wondering whether there's an easy way to do this using PHP. The file is a JPG image if that helps, but it makes no difference to me how it gets copied provided that it works and I understand how it happens so that I can customise the code later if necessary.
Copy Folder?
I want to copy a folder, subfolder, files, and subfiles. I don't care about attributes. I thought about making the folder a zip, and then using extract but that was confusing and took too long on the server. so what do I do? Is there a script that will parse the dir and COPY all the files?
Copy Variable Name
I'm trying to create a script that creates sql insert statements dynamically. This script needs to handle several different arrays that are passed to it from various form validation scripts. The keys in these arrays are identical to the column names in their respective tables. What I need to do is somehow output the actual names of the keys to be used as the column names in the insert statement, and then output the actual values in the array as the values to be inserted. So I want to take an array like this: $bookarray = array ( 'booktitle' => 'Cat In The Hat', 'price' => '15.99' ); And end up with this: insert into books (booktitle, price) values ('Cat In The Hat', 15.99) Without knowing that the incoming keys were booktitle and price.
How To Copy An Entire Array?
can I do this? You see, I want to pass my values in to another page, but you can imagine how it would be insane to try and copy each value in the array individually <A HREF="thepage.php?array[0]=$array[0]&array[1]=$array[1]... etc is there a way to compress an array into a single variable, and then decompress it like: Code: $compressedArray = compress(0, 10, $array); where 0 is the start index, and 10 is the end index then when I want to use it on the other page Code: for ($x=0; $x<=10; $x++){ $newArray[$x] = decompressMe($x, $compressedArray); } I'm sure that there must be some simple little thing like that.... I looked at the php manual, but couldn't really see anything like I'm talking about (or maybe I dont understand it )
Copy Command Available In Windows?
Is the copy command available for use on a windows system. I have tried to run a script using it (taken directly out of a PHP manual) and am receiving a "parse error".
Copy/Paste Anomaly
Whenever I copy and paste code from my browser into my editor of choice, then upload it to my server, the code doesn't go in right. However, if I retype the exact same code and then save the file, upload it again, it works okay. But this defeats the purpose of copy/paste. Yes, I uploaded the file as ascii. No, there aren't any weird characters are codes that show up. I'm running MacOS 9.1 and Internet Explorer 5.0. I haven't tried copying and pasting the code on Netscape. Has anyone had this problem?
Directory Copy Question
I noticed that I can't remove the folder that I created because it says "Directory not empty" so I did a little investigation on my PC machine. I used telnet to get to my folders and did a ls -a and noticed that all of the files had an asterik on the end of them and it had a file called .gif* in there as well. So, when I deleted all the files in the folder it deleted all of them BUT the .gif* and thus I cannot delete the folder through ftp on my mac. whew!! Finally my question: Is this normal to have an asterik at the end of a file name when using a repetitive copy funtion like this? AND is there something wrong with my code that is forcing a file called .gif* to be created? Here is what I have: I am setting the variables prior to this function call. ----------------- Calling the function like this: getImages($sourceimagefolder,$imagepath); ------------------ Here is the function: (thanks to dusty2k by the way) function getImages($sourceimagefolder,$imagepath) { if ($handle = opendir($sourceimagefolder)) { echo "Source Directory: $sourceimagefolder<br><br>"; echo "Destination Directory: $imagepath<br><br>"; echo "Files:<br><br>"; while($file = readdir($handle)) { if($file != "." && $file != "..") { if(copy($sourceimagefolder . $file, $imagepath . $file)) { echo "$file copied successfully.<br>"; } } } closedir($handle); } }

Copy Table Data To Another
I've been searching in the PHP forums for this answer, and I've found something similar, and have used to this to the problem I have. Anyway, when I do run this script I get an error line 5 which is the 'while' statement. $query_newsfeed = "SELECT itemid,heading,news_date,content FROM newsfeed"; $query1_exec = mysql_query ( $query_newsfeed ); // Error here! while ( $query_row = mysql_fetch_assoc ( $query1_exec ) ) { $query2 = "INSERT INTO newsfeed_map ( itemid,heading,news_date,content ) VALUES ( $query_row[$itemid],'$query_row[$heading]','$query_row[$news_date]','$query_row[$content]' )" $query2_exec = mysql_query ( $query2 ); Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource Any ideas where I could be going wrong?

JPG>GIF (resizing And Saving As Copy)
I was just wondering how I take a JPG file on the server, shrink it, and save it as a copy, and in GIF format? For example: I have a file called 'desktop.jpg', and I would like to shrink it to an image called 'desktop.gif' (based on the jpeg's name, so if it had been 'boat.jpg' it would be saved as 'boat.gif'), and resized to 120x96 pixels, and save the gif in the same directory. How do I do this?
PHP4/5 Deep Copy?
I've got a PHP4 app that I developed which I'm trying to get to run on a PHP5 server. Everything works great, except for one thing. There's a particular routine that creates an original object, then copies it. (The object constructor gets some meta information from the database, so I copy it for performance reasons). The routine then modifies the copies. PHP5 copies by reference by default, so this doesn't work--- I'm not modifying the copies, I'm modifying the original. I read about a trick to create a PHP4/PHP5 compatible clone function, but that doesn't work either. PHP5's clone is a shallow copy, so the properties of the original which are other objects only get referenced. // Start Example: class simple { var $key; function simple() {} } class cloneable { var $simple; function cloneable() { $this->simple = new simple(); } } $prototype = new cloneable(); $record1 = clone($prototype); $record1->simple->key='blue' $record2 = clone($prototype); $record2->simple->key='red' echo $record1->simple->key; echo $record2->simple->key; // End example In PHP4 (assume that the clone function has been defined to just return a copy of the original object) this code outputs "bluered". In PHP5 it outputs "redred". How do I deep copy an object in PHP5 the way PHP4's assignment operator works?
File Permissions After Copy()
This function basically creates a new dir in a determined location and copies the files from an established dir to the new dir. It copies the files and creates the folder ok, bit it sets the file permissons to 755 for the new folder and file contents. I then get a 550 error if I try to delete or chmod them. Any suggestions? I get permission errors in the script if I use the chgrp and chmod functions also. PHP Code:
