- 10 core/lib/Drupal/Core/File/FileSystem.php \Drupal\Core\File\FileSystem::copy()
Copies a file to a new location without invoking the file API.
This is a powerful function that in many ways performs like an advanced version of copy().
- If $source and $destination are valid and readable/writable, then only perform the copy operation.
- If $source and $destination are equal then a FileException exception is thrown.
- If the $destination file already exists, the behavior depends on the $fileExists parameter as follows `FileExists::Error` will error out, `FileExists::Replace` will replace the existing file, and `FileExists::Rename` will assign a new unique name.
- Provides a fallback using realpaths if the move fails using stream wrappers. This can occur because PHP's copy() function does not properly support streams if open_basedir is enabled.
Example:
use Drupal\Core\File\FileExists;
use Drupal\Core\File\FileSystemInterface;
...
$directory = 'public://example-dir';
$file_system = \Drupal::service('file_system');
$file_system->copy($filepath, $directory . '/' . basename($filepath), FileExists::Replace);
In this example, file is copied from $filepath and is replaced at the destination if exists.
Parameters
string $source: A string specifying the filepath or URI of the source file.
string $destination: A URI containing the destination that $source should be copied to. The URI may be a bare filepath (without a scheme).
\Drupal\Core\File\FileExists|int $fileExists: The behavior when the destination file already exists.
Return value
string The path to the new file.
