How to copy Directory

to copy directory you can use this handy function:

function full_copy( $source, $target ) {

	if ( is_dir( $source ) ) {

		@mkdir( $target );

		$d = dir( $source );

		while ( FALSE !== ( $entry = $d->read() ) ) {

			if ( $entry == '.' || $entry == '..' ) {

				continue;

			}

			$Entry = $source . '/' . $entry; 

			if ( is_dir( $Entry ) ) {

				full_copy( $Entry, $target . '/' . $entry );

				continue;

			}

			copy( $Entry, $target . '/' . $entry );

		}

 

		$d->close();

	}else {

		copy( $source, $target );

	}

}

you can call this function with this example, lets say i want to copy my themes from my source files to my new websites i would do this:

PHP CODE

$source ='/var/www/source/theme';

$destination = '/var/www/newsite/theme/';

full_copy($source, $destination)
