....Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in

Question

I am working on a signup page.

I want to copy a file to another directory via the copy function:

It makes a folder with a variable as the name like so:

mkdir($skool, 0700);

Then I make variables for the source and the destination and then copy them like so:

$source = 'indexa.php'; 
  

$destination = 'localhost/school/choose/$skool/indexa.php'; 
  
if( !copy($source, $destination) ) { 
    echo "File can't be copied! \n"; 
} 
else { 
    echo "File has been copied! \n"; 
} 

I am using that skool variable, note.

I know this file exists but it flags up the following error:

copy(localhost/school/choose/indexa.php): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in the file on line 148

I am not sure where I am going wrong: please help!

Answer 1

This code will not work correctly because variable $skool inside single quotes

$destination = 'localhost/school/choose/$skool/indexa.php'; 

Try to take out a variable like this:

$destination = 'localhost/school/choose/' . $skool . '/indexa.php';
