Re: [PHP] Help with the copy command...
The two examples you give are not the same? I see
different files. Please, doublecheck.

There's no problem with variable names as parameters to copy() - you
can test that in a few seconds.
$ touch foo
$ php -a
Interactive mode enabled
$ ls
foo foo.bak
So the problem is elsewhere.
99 times in 100 you've either messed up the filenames or you've not
got appropriate file permissions to do the copy.

Re: [PHP] Help with the copy command...
What difference are you seeing in the files I give in the example? Are
they not identical paths?
Thanks.
