3. 11.x core/lib/Drupal/Core/File/FileSystemInterface.php \Drupal\Core\File\FileSystemInterface::copy()

Copies a file to a new location without invoking the file API.

This is a powerful function that in many ways performs like an advanced version of copy().

• Checks if $source and $destination are valid and readable/writable.
• If file already exists in $destination either the call will error out, replace the file or rename the file based on the $fileExists parameter.
• If the $source and $destination are equal, the behavior depends on the $fileExists parameter.
• Provides a fallback using realpaths if the move fails using stream wrappers. This can occur because PHP's copy() function does not properly support streams if open_basedir is enabled. See https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60456

Parameters

string $source: A string specifying the filepath or URI of the source file.

string $destination: A URI containing the destination that $source should be copied to. The URI may be a bare filepath (without a scheme).

\Drupal\Core\File\FileExists|int $fileExists: The behavior when the destination file already exists.

Return value

string The path to the new file.

Throws

\Drupal\Core\File\Exception\FileException Implementation may throw FileException or its subtype on failure.

\ValueError Thrown if $fileExists is a legacy int and not a valid value.
