PHP copy a file to multiple child folders with random names - php

Question

I have an HTML form and one of the inputs creates a folder. The folder name is chosen by the website visitor. Every visitor creates his own folder on my website so they are randomly generated. They are created using PHP Code.
Now I would like to write a PHP code to copy a file to all of the child directories regardless the quantity of directories being generated.
I do not wish to stay writing a PHP line for every directory that is created - i.e. inserting the filename name manually (e.g. folder01, xyzfolder, folderabc, etc...) but rather automatically.
I Googled but I was unsuccessful. Is this possible? If yes, how can I go about it?
Kindly ignore security, etc... I am testing it internally prior to rolling out on a larger scale.
Thank you

Answer 1

It is sad I cannot comment so go on...
//get the new folder name
$newfolder = $_POST['newfoldername'];
//create it if not exist
if(!is_dir("./$newfolder")) {
mkdir("./$newfolder", 0777, true);
}
//list all folder
$dirname = './';
$dir = opendir($dirname);
while($file = readdir($dir)) {
if(($file != '.' OR $file != '..') AND is_dir($dirname.$file))
{
//generate a randomname
$str = 'yourmotherisveryniceABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789';
$randomname = str_shuffle($str);
$actualdir = $dirname.$file;
//copy of the file
copy($uploadedfile['tmp_name'], $actualdir.$randomname);
}
}
closedir($dir);
I just want to say, you seem to be lazy by looking for what you want to do. because when I read "I would like to write a PHP code to copy" the answer is in your sentence: copy PHP and list of folders regarless how many? Then just simply list it !
Maybe you need to learn how to use google... If you search "I would like to write a PHP code to copy a file to all of the child directories regardless the quantity of directories being generated" Sure you will never find.
