Question

Currently I having problem with Laravel cannot use moveDirectory and copyDirectory however makeDirectory or deleteDirectory works fine, the code as follow:

&         


        

Answer 1

Use the File::copyDirectory() method.

$success = File::copyDirectory($sourceDir, $destinationDir);

The method will return true if all files and subdirectories are successfully copied.

If the destination directory doesn't exist it will be created. It will be created recursively as needed.

Answer 2

I guess moveDirectory is not available under Storage. Try with below code

import file system first

use Illuminate\Filesystem\Filesystem;

after that create a new instance and move directory. Path is relative to index.php I guess.

$file = new Filesystem();
$file->moveDirectory('../storage/app/public/old_folder', '../storage/app/public/new_folder');

Edited

You can bypass instance creation with method injection

public function update(Request $request,Filesystem $file, $id)
