Answer 1

You can use copy function:

$srcfile = 'source_path/xyz.jpg';
$dstfile = 'destination_path/xyz.jpg';
copy($srcfile, $dstfile);

Answer 2

Use copy() function

copy('advertisers/images/xyz.png','publishers/
 images/xyz.png');

Change the file extension, whatever it is.

If you don't know the extension, go with the wildcard. It will give you the array of all the files matching with the wildcard.

$files = glob('advertisers/images/xyz.*');
    foreach ($files as $file) {
    copy($file,'publishers/images/'.$file);
}

Answer 3

You should write your code same as below:

<?php
$imagePath = "../Images/somepic.jpg";
$newPath = "../Uploads/";
$ext = '.jpg';
$newName  = $newPath."a".$ext;

$copied = copy($imagePath , $newName);

if ((!$copied)) 
{
    echo "Error : Not Copied";
}
else
{ 
    echo "Copied Successful";
}
?>
