complex05 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Hello,I'm currently using a perl script to upload files (i'm using perl so I can use an AJAX progress bar) however since I don't know perl at all and have no desire to, I would like to use a PHP script to do what I want to do.Right now, the perl script uploads the files to /uploads/ then redirects to a page called finished.php. I need the files to go to different directories depending on who is logged into the system. I need to know how to move a file to a different directory in PHP. Is there a function to do this?Thanks,Barry Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/35370-php-move-file-to-new-directory/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjakreborn Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 move_uploaded_files()That is used to move newly uploaded files to a directory. As far as moving current files on the server, to new locations on the server, you need to open the file, copy it, create a new file, paste the information in htere, and save the new file in the new location, and then delete the old file.Unless php has a way to just copy file's, then delete the old one, not sure.

complex05 Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 yeah I can't use move_uploaded_files() because the perl script has already uploaded it and moved it. I'm aware of the open, read, copy, save and delete method but some of these files are 25MB+... don't wanna break my server :( Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/35370-php-move-file-to-new-directory/#findComment-167194 Share on other sites More sharing options...
