Hide copy warnings in PHP

Question

I know that it is not recommended to hide warnings with @copy, but what other alternatives exist?

Is there a way to make sure the copy will work or not?

Answer 1

Use is_readable () and is_writable () to check the source and target status before trying to copy ().

Answer 2

Indeed, you should not display errors in the browser. Turn off display_errors in php.ini.

You can then check to see if its logical return value succeeded without worrying about the warnings on the screen.

 if (!copy('srcfile', 'destfile')) { // something failed. } 

Answer 3

If you use the "@" in front of the function, you will not receive a warning or notification, but you will save the result (boolean, string ...).

Try the following:

 if ( !@copy ('srcfile', 'destfile')) { // something failed. }
