File and directory management?

[davej]

So Php can upload a file to a directory? Read a directory listing? Create a new directory? Read a text file? Write to a text file? Delete a file? Rename a file? Delete a directory? How about move or copy a file?

 

Thanks

Yes can copy, see: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.copy.php

 

Can also move a file by using the rename() function, see: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.rename.php

yes to everything.

 

Since PHP runs on the server, it has (with appropriate permissions) the ability to manipulate the filesystem.

Dang. Since I'm always on a shared host and have no command-line access I had not considered that I could do any automated file management. I'll have to get busy here.
