Recursive - copy a directory, sub dir and files

[cabernet]

The following regards: PHP5 and Apache2

I cannot figure the proper scripting however as is it does not generate an error, just plain does nothing!

<?php
//error_reporting (E_ALL);

$dirsource="../tpl_for_dupli/calendar";
$dirdest="../chamber_members/calendar";

function COPY_RECURSIVE_DIRS($dirsource, $dirdest)
{
if(is_dir($dirsource))$dir_handle=opendir($dirsource);
mkdir($dirdest."/".$dirsource, 0750);
while($file=readdir($dir_handle))
{
if($file!="." && $file!="..")
{
if(!is_dir($dirsource."/".$file)) copy ($dirsource."/".$file, $dirdest."/".$dirsource."/".$file);
else COPY_RECURSIVE_DIRS($dirsource."/".$file, $dirdest);
}
}
closedir($dir_handle); return true;

}

thank you

I don't see any place you actually invoke the function.
There should be a call like:

COPY_RECURSIVE_DIRS($dirsource,$dirdest);

Could it be that simple?

Thank you,
It seems to be here:

if(!is_dir($dirsource."/".$file)) copy ($dirsource."/".$file, $dirdest."/".$dirsource."/".$file);
else COPY_RECURSIVE_DIRS($dirsource."/".$file, $dirdest);

/* This is the correct way to loop over the directory. */
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
echo "$file\n";
}

/* This is the WRONG way to loop over the directory. */
while ($file = readdir($handle)) {
echo "$file\n";
}

You implemented what is called WRONG above.

Well, I even did look at manual before posting!

that should indeed do it.
