Move file
By: Daniel
This tutorial / piece of code will show you how to move a file on your website to another location. For instance you have a web application to approve or deny file uploads. Using this function will make make it easier to process this task.
function moveFile($file, $newFolder) { // Check if the move to directory actually exists if not return an error if (!is_dir($newFolder)) { return 'Move to folder '.$newFolder.' does not exist'; } // Make sure that are $newFolder variable ends with a / $newFolder = (in_array(substr($newFolder, -1), array('/', '\')) ? $newFolder : $newFolder.'/'); // Check to make sure the file you want to move actually exists if (is_file($file)) { // Get the filename of the file to be moved $filename = basename($file); rename($file, $newFolder.$filename); return 'File '.$filename.' moved to '.$newFolder; } return 'File '.$file.' does not exist'; } ?>
Then to use the code you would use something like:
moveFile('file1.txt', 'movehere/');
