Cool.

When you can, post the code you got working well.

I did this for practice. I really would appreciate some feedback. Thanks.

<?php
// DirectoryCopier.php

/**
 * DirectoryCopier
 * Makes a copy of an existing directory and it's contents.
 *
 * @author jasondfr
 * @param string $dir Existing Directory
 * @param string $copyto Directory to copy to
 *
 * @notes Bad things happen when copying a direcotry into itself ->
 * It would be nice to allow this. strpos() is used in the setCopyto method
 * to check for this. However, I'm not sure this is the best way.

$dir = '/home/user/dir';
$copyto = '/home/directory';

$dircopier = new DirectoryCopier($dir, $copyto);


try {
    if ($dircopier->copy())
        echo 'Successful';
    else
        echo 'Not Successful';
} catch (Exception $e) {
    print_r($e);
}

exit;
