如何在 PHP 上的同一服务器上将文件从一个目录移动到另一个目录

Question

I'm trying to copy one file from a directory to another upon execution of an sql query but it doesn't work.

if($result){
    $path = "forms/uploads/";
    $file = $path.$request_name."docx";
    if(file_exists($file)){
        move_uploaded_file($file, "forms/requests/") ;
   }
    echo 400;

The $path is the directory where the file currently exists.

You can try use copy function and unlink old file

https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.copy.php

    if($result){
        $path = "forms/uploads/";
        $file = $path.$request_name."docx";
        $newfile = $path.$request_name."docx";
        if(file_exists($file)){
           if (!copy($file, "forms/requests/".$newfile)) {
                 echo "failed to copy $file...\n";
            }
          unlink($file);
    } 
    echo 400;
