The easier explanation is that a directory has to exist before you can copy files into it, and the simple copy does not 'automatically' create a new subdirectory, so the stackpverflow solutions add that step to the process. Some copy functions will build the empty directory tree first and then run the copies, others simply add a new branch when the need arises, which is what the recurse_copy routine does. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
