How do I move a file from one folder to another on a server?

[Chappie]

Hello.

I'd like to enquire how do I move a file from one folder to another using php?
Currently I've managed to upload a img file to folder in a subdomain, now I'm unable to move it to the main domain.

I'm unable to get move_uploaded_file to work.
I'd be grateful for any help.
Thank You.

I've sorted this, I've used the rename to move the file

BTW,
move_uploaded_file() doesn’t work in your case because this function only works on temporary files that PHP creates when a file is first uploaded via an HTTP POST request (the paths you get in $_FILES['...']['tmp_name']).

Once you’ve already saved the file in your subdomain folder, it’s no longer a temporary upload file, it’s just a normal file in the file system. move_uploaded_file() internally checks whether the source file is indeed an HTTP-uploaded temp file, and if not, it will return false.

That’s why, after the initial upload, you need to use functions like rename() or copy() instead of move_uploaded_file().

copy($sourcePath, $destinationPath);
unlink($sourcePath); // optional, if you want to delete original

Hello VBService.

Thank you for your reply.
I've now used rename() to move the file.
