Recursive Copy of Directory

Question

On my old VPS I was using the following code to copy the files and directories within a directory to a new directory that was created after the user submitted their form.

Answer 1

This function copies folder recursivley very solid. I've copied it from the comments section on copy command of php.net

function recurse_copy($src,$dst) { 
    $dir = opendir($src); 
    @mkdir($dst); 
    while(false !== ( $file = readdir($dir)) ) { 
        if (( $file != '.' ) && ( $file != '..' )) { 
            if ( is_dir($src . '/' . $file) ) { 
                recurse_copy($src . '/' . $file,$dst . '/' . $file); 
            } 
            else { 
                copy($src . '/' . $file,$dst . '/' . $file); 
            } 
        } 
    } 
    closedir($dir); 
}

Why not just ask the OS to take care of this?

system("cp -r olddir newdir");

Done.
