function file_copy
Same name in other branches
- 7.x includes/file.inc \file_copy()
- 9 core/modules/file/file.module \file_copy()
Copies a file to a new location and adds a file record to the database.
This function should be used when manipulating files that have records stored in the database. 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 $replace parameter.
- If the $source and $destination are equal, the behavior depends on the $replace parameter. FileSystemInterface::EXISTS_REPLACE will error out. FileSystemInterface::EXISTS_RENAME will rename the file until the $destination is unique.
- Adds the new file to the files database. If the source file is a temporary file, the resulting file will also be a temporary file. See file_save_upload() for details on temporary files.
Parameters
\Drupal\file\FileInterface $source: A file entity.
string $destination: A string containing the destination that $source should be copied to. This must be a stream wrapper URI.
int $replace: (optional) Replace behavior when the destination file already exists. Possible values include:
- FileSystemInterface::EXISTS_REPLACE: Replace the existing file. If a managed file with the destination name exists, then its database entry will be updated. If no database entry is found, then a new one will be created.
- FileSystemInterface::EXISTS_RENAME: (default) Append _{incrementing number} until the filename is unique.
- FileSystemInterface::EXISTS_ERROR: Do nothing and return FALSE.
Return value
\Drupal\file\FileInterface|false File entity if the copy is successful, or FALSE in the event of an error.
