Rename/Move file to folder?

[electrix]

Before anyone says anything, YES I have searched on this forum and google without luck!

 

<?php
echo $_GET[filename1]." - GET<BR>";
$file = "/$_GET[filename1]";
$file2 = "/ny/$file";

rename('$file','$file2');

}
?>

 

I want to move the file that is in "root" (aka "/")

to the folder "ny". All the file/folder permissions is 777.

 

The file still won't move or even copy to the folder or any other folder....?

Anybody? Or maybe you know a better way to move a filer to a folder?

 

Thanx in advance..

copy() should copy a file/folder... unlink() would delete it.  Rename() doesn't move it at all as far as I know.

So what is wrong with this then?

 

<?php
$file = $_GET[filename1];

if (!copy($file, /ny/$file)) {
    echo "failed to copy $file...\n";
}
unlink($file);
?>

 

Can it be something with the " /ny/$file " ?

In the code provided, the /ny/$file isn't quoted.

 

if( !copy($file, "/ny/" . $file) )

{

 

}

Nope it doesn't work..

I get the message "failed to copy" ....

Might want to try file_exists() to see if it's even there before copying. More absolute paths? or maybe "./ny/" or "./" . $file might help. I don't know what $file is really, just giving ideas. Is it a filename? or name+path?

It's a filename.. And yes I've tried ./ and absolute paths.. Still not working..

Ahh! I've got an error-message now...

 

Warning: copy() [function.copy]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 200453 is not allowed to access / owned by uid 0 in /customers/randomriot.net/randomriot.net/httpd.www/move.php on line 14

Can someone tell me if there is a way to override SAFE MODE or another way to copy/move a file ?
