Reiterative Copy() in a Directory Alternative

["Wei, Alice J." <ajwei@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

  I have a scenario here where I wanted to read through a directory and copy all the files into another directory out on the server somewhere.
  It appears that I cannot do reiterative copying from the files to another folder, according to the error I keep seeing:

PHP Warning:  copy(a2.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/ajwei//Desktop/file_copy.php on line 18
Error! Couldn't copy a2.txt to /home/ajwei/Documents/test1/a2.txt

Is it possible that there is an alternative for this? I have no problems with reading through the directory using readdir(),

<?

    if ($handle = opendir('/home/ajwei/Desktop/test/')) {
      echo "Directory handle: $handle\n";
    echo "Files:\n";

    mkdir("/home/ajweiDocuments/test1", 0755);

    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
        echo "$file\n";

        $result= copy($file, '/home/ajwei/Documents/test1/$file');
        if ($result) {
            echo "$file has been copied to /home/ajwei/Documents/test1/$file\n\n";
        }
        else {
           echo "Error! Couldn't copy $file to /home/ajwei/Documents/test1/$file\n";
 }
   }
     }
 closedir($handle);

Is there an alternative to what I am meant to do if the copy() cannot be functioned the way I anticipated?
I welcome any suggestion.
