Cory94bailly Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Here's my code: <? $date = "date('d-m-Y')" //unlink ('backups/fcs/index.php'); //unlink ('backups/fcs/aboutus.php'); //unlink ('backups/fcs/login.php'); //unlink ('backups/fcs/services.php'); //unlink ('backups/fcs/team.php'); copy('fcs/index.php','backups/fcs/$date/index.php'); copy('fcs/aboutus.php','backups/fcs/$date/aboutus.php'); copy('fcs/login.php','backups/fcs/$date/login.php'); copy('fcs/services.php','backups/fcs/$date/services.php'); copy('fcs/team.php','backups/fcs/$date/team.php'); if (copy) echo "Task done successfully!"; else echo "Unsuccessful!"; ?> (Didn't bother removing the actual file names..) Now how would I get this to work? Well I just realized that I never created the folder of the date, is that my problem? How do I do that..? And here's my error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/content/m/a/r/markbailly/html/backupfcs.php on line 8 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/105356-solved-backing-up-to-a-folder-with-the-days-date/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel0 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 You might want to change $date = "date('d-m-Y')"; to $date = date('d-m-Y'); otherwise you're not calling the function but making a string with that content. Furthermore, if (copy) won't work.

Furthermore, if (copy) won't work. That date thing fixed part of it.. It now named a folder with the actual day's date... But it's still trying to physically save to the folder $date..

Daniel0 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Oh yes. You'll also need to change 'backups/fcs/$date/index.php' and similar strings to use double quotes instead. Variable interpolation (i.e. replacement of the variables' values within strings) will only work with strings that are using either the HEREDOC syntax or using double quotes. Single quoted strings will be used verbatim.

Daniel0 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Substitute 'backups/fcs/$date/index.php' with "backups/fcs/$date/index.php" Likewise with all similar strings.

DarkWater Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Change ' to " in the copy() call. Variables need to be enclosed in double-quoted strings, not single-quoted ones.
