[SOLVED] Can I use an array to shorted this script

[almightyegg]

I have a file that when executed it re-writes a group of files to a list of directorys like so:

 

<?
$openfile = fopen("/home/lordofth/public_html/areas/panel.php", "w");
fwrite($openfile, file_get_contents("/home/lordofth/public_html/layout/panel.php"));
fclose($openfile);
$openfile = fopen("/home/lordofth/public_html/areas/links.php", "w");
fwrite($openfile, file_get_contents("/home/lordofth/public_html/layout/links.php"));
fclose($openfile);
$openfile = fopen("/home/lordofth/public_html/areas/links2.php", "w");
fwrite($openfile, file_get_contents("/home/lordofth/public_html/layout/links2.php"));
fclose($openfile);
$openfile = fopen("/home/lordofth/public_html/areas/icons.php", "w");
fwrite($openfile, file_get_contents("/home/lordofth/public_html/layout/icons.php"));
fclose($openfile);
$openfile = fopen("/home/lordofth/public_html/areas/default.css", "w");
fwrite($openfile, file_get_contents("/home/lordofth/public_html/layout/default.css"));
fclose($openfile);
$openfile = fopen("/home/lordofth/public_html/areas/default2.css", "w");
fwrite($openfile, file_get_contents("/home/lordofth/public_html/layout/default2.css"));
fclose($openfile);
$openfile = fopen("/home/lordofth/public_html/areas/copyright.php", "w");
fwrite($openfile, file_get_contents("/home/lordofth/public_html/layout/copyright.php"));
fclose($openfile);
$openfile = fopen("/home/lordofth/public_html/areas/bbcodes.php", "w");
fwrite($openfile, file_get_contents("/home/lordofth/public_html/layout/bbcodes.php"));
fclose($openfile);

$openfile = fopen("/home/lordofth/public_html/account/panel.php", "w");
fwrite($openfile, file_get_contents("/home/lordofth/public_html/layout/panel.php"));
fclose($openfile);
$openfile = fopen("/home/lordofth/public_html/account/links.php", "w");
fwrite($openfile, file_get_contents("/home/lordofth/public_html/layout/links.php"));
fclose($openfile);
$openfile = fopen("/home/lordofth/public_html/account/links2.php", "w");
fwrite($openfile, file_get_contents("/home/lordofth/public_html/layout/links2.php"));
fclose($openfile);
$openfile = fopen("/home/lordofth/public_html/account/icons.php", "w");
fwrite($openfile, file_get_contents("/home/lordofth/public_html/layout/icons.php"));
fclose($openfile);
$openfile = fopen("/home/lordofth/public_html/account/default.css", "w");
fwrite($openfile, file_get_contents("/home/lordofth/public_html/layout/default.css"));
fclose($openfile);
$openfile = fopen("/home/lordofth/public_html/account/default2.css", "w");
fwrite($openfile, file_get_contents("/home/lordofth/public_html/layout/default2.css"));
fclose($openfile);
$openfile = fopen("/home/lordofth/public_html/account/copyright.php", "w");
fwrite($openfile, file_get_contents("/home/lordofth/public_html/layout/copyright.php"));
fclose($openfile);
$openfile = fopen("/home/lordofth/public_html/account/bbcodes.php", "w");
fwrite($openfile, file_get_contents("/home/lordofth/public_html/layout/bbcodes.php"));
fclose($openfile);

 

 

Problem is, there's about 20 or so directories to fwrite() 8 files into, which from the above code, makes a large and long winded file.

 

So I was wondering, for ease of use, if it's possible to put the directories into an array of something and then it would fwrite() to all directories in there??

 

If it is possible, it'd be great if you could point me in the right direction, thanks

Sure - you can create one (or more if neede) array(s) but you'd need to then write a foreach() loop to run through performing the tasks.

Try this...

<?php
$source='/home/lordofth/public_html/layout/';
$target='/home/lordofth/public_html/areas/';
$arrFiles=array('panel.php','links.php','links2.php','icons.php','default.css','default2.css','copyright.css','bbcodes.php');
copyFiles($source,$target,$arrFiles);
$source='/home/lordofth/public_html/layout/';
$target='/home/lordofth/public_html/account/';
$arrFiles=array('panel.php','links.php','links2.php','icons.phpdefault.css','default2.css','copyright.php','bbcodes.php');
copyFiles($source,$target,$arrFiles);

function copyFiles($source,$target,$arrFiles) {
  foreach ($arrFiles as $file) {
    copy($source.$file,$target.$file);
  }
}
?>

 

EDIT: Improved code and swapped source and target round as I had them wrong.
