Copying to above folder

[php-n00b]

What's Up?

 

OK, so I've been trying to copy a file to the root of my webserver from a folder, But when you use this code.

<?php
chdir('saved/');
$file = 'Archive.tar.gz';
$newfile = (New.tar.gz);
if (!copy($file, $newfile)) {
    echo "failed to copy $file...\n";
}
?>

It copies it to the same dir, I've tried

$newfile = (/public_html/New.tar.gz);

But that doesn't work, If the folder was in the same folder as where you where currently chdir'd to, then it would be

$newfile = (folder/New.tar.gz);

 

But how would you copy it to the root of your server?

 

Anyone Know?

 

Thanks Bye.

<?php
$file = 'saved/Archive.tar.gz';
$newfile = '/New.tar.gz';
if (!copy($file, $newfile)) {
    echo "failed to copy $file...\n";
}
?>

<?php
//chdir('saved/');
$file = '/path/to/Archive.tar.gz';
$newfile = 'path/to/New.tar.gz);
if (!copy("$file", "$newfile")) {
    echo "failed to copy $file to $newfile\n";
}
?>
