Okay, this seems like a ridiculously easy question which shouldn't even
need asking, but I'm having trouble getting the builtin copy command to
work properly. It seems to work fine as long as I feed it a full
constant string path for each argument (ie - in the form
"/the/path/to/the/file"). However, if I try to feed it two variables as
the arguments, it craps out somewhere along the line. Here are the two
different sets of calls I'm making:
These two work perfectly:
copy("/usr/local/apache/htdocs/ipreg2/crons/regservice_rep/snapshot.baseline",
"/usr/local/apache/htdocs/ipreg2/crons/regservice_rep/snapshot.baseline.bak")
;
copy("/usr/local/apache/htdocs/ipreg2/crons/regservice_rep/lastrun.timestamp",
"/usr/local/apache/htdocs/ipreg2/crons/regservice_rep/lastrun.timestamp.bak");
These two fail:
$l_stLastRun =
"/usr/local/apache/htdocs/ipreg2/crons/regservice_rep/lastrun.timestamp";
$l_stSnapshotBase =
"/usr/local/apache/htdocs/ipreg2/crons/regservice_rep/snapshot.baseline";
copy($l_stSnapshotBase, $l_stSnapshotBase.".bak");
copy($l_stLastRun, $l_stLastRun.".bak");
Can anyone offer any insight on what the problem might be with this? The
"unlink" function seems to accept the variable inputs with absolutely no
problem, so I can't understand the discrepancy between the two.
Thanks in advance.
Tim
