copy() question - 11/12/2006 11:57:22

Hi folks

I had a nice little script set up which took the contents of a chosen file (chosen via a form) and copied it into another file which was included in a site - so a client could swap the contents of a particular div around as they wished.

It all worked beautifully until now - I've used it on another site and I'm sure it was working, but it's not now and I'm not sure why. I think it might be the permissions set up incorrectly but I've been going round and round so much that I'm not sure what I'm doing!

Here's the form:

<form name="eventform" method="post" action="event.php"><div id="form">
					                                         
<fieldset>
<legend>Choose the Event</legend>
<input type="radio" id="event1" name="event" value="valentines.php"  /><label for="event1" class="check" >Valentines</label><br />
<input type="radio" id="event2" name="event" value="mothersday.php"/><label for="event2" class="check">Mothers' Day</label><br />
<input type="radio" id="event3" name="event" value="easter.php"  /><label for="event3" class="check" >Easter</label><br />
<input type="radio" id="event4" name="event" value="jewishnewyear.php"  /><label for="event4" class="check" >Jewish New Year</label><br />
<input type="radio" id="event5" name="event" value="christmas.php"  /><label for="event5" class="check" >Christmas</label><br />
</fieldset>
<br />			
 <input class="submit" type="submit" value="Submit this form"  />	 
</div>
</form>

And here's the contents of event.php

<?php
echo '<h2>Event Box Updated</h2><p><a href="index.html">Back to the Homepage</a></p>'; 
$file = $event;
$newfile = 'current.php';

if (!copy($file, $newfile)) {
   echo "failed to copy $file...\n";
}
?>

current.php is blank. The php files making up the values of the form just contain normal HTML markup, nothing clever.

Can anyone see anything glaringly wrong? If not, what CHMODs would you have set for the various files?

Thanks!
