Hi,
The code below is to copy the files from one dir to another. here in the function dircopy $verbose is set to false. and later a action is done when the $verbose is true. in between there are no actions that are setting the $verbose to true... when do this $verbose is changing to true ?... any idea ?? Please advise.....

[PHP]function dircopy($srcdir, $dstdir, $verbose = false) {
$num = 0;
if(!is_dir($dstdir)) mkdir($dstdir);
if($curdir = opendir($srcdir)) {
while($file = readdir($curdir)) {
if($file != '.' && $file != '..') {
$srcfile = $srcdir . '\\' . $file;
$dstfile = $dstdir . '\\' . $file;
if(is_file($srcfile)) {
if(is_file($dstfile)) $ow = filemtime($srcfile) - filemtime($dstfile); else $ow = 1;
if($ow > 0) {
if($verbose) echo "Copying '$srcfile' to '$dstfile'...";
if(copy($srcfile, $dstfile)) {
touch($dstfile, filemtime($srcfile)); $num++;
if($verbose) echo "OK\n";
}
else echo "Error: File '$srcfile' could not be copied!\n";
}
}
else if(is_dir($srcfile)) {
$num += dircopy($srcfile, $dstfile, $verbose);
}
}
}
closedir($curdir);
}
return $num;
}[/PHP]

Actually $verbose is just used as a flag once you call the function. Its set to false by default, meaning while copying the files it won't printout anything as files are being copied. However, if you supply a true value once you called this function like


as files are copied, you will receive a printout everytime a file is successfully copied
