Hi Nik,

Does it only work on PC or on Mac and Linux as well?


Subject: Copying files and directories on the client machine...

I've written a .dll extension to PHP that will allow you create files or
directories on your client's machines, or copy over existing ones from new
versions on your web server!!!

Simply download the dll file, put it in the same place as all your other php
extensions, and add this line to your PHP.ini file:

extension=php_fdcopy.dll ; server to client file and dir copy

Here's how it looks in php:

<?php

$fc = FD_file_copy($localpath,   // path to your file or directory
                  $remotepath); // a valid unix-style filepath.

$dc = FD_dir_copy($localpath, $remotepath, // same deal
                 $filemask= "*",          // *.gif, *.*, etc...
                 $recurse = true);        // copy all subdirs, too
?>


This will copy the file or directories from your webserver to your client's
computer.

What's really cool, is if you call "FD_overwrite(true)" before you copy your
file or directory, it will automatically replace existing files with the new
version from your webserver.

What's more, you can call this function, too! "FD_progressbar(true)" before
you copy your file or directory, and your user will be shown a progress bar
of the download.  The progress bar is very robust and displays the current
file, the current file size, the total number of files to be transferred,
the number of files already transferred, and of course progess meters for
both the current file transferring and the total batch transfer.


I've uploaded it to PHP.net and Zend.  They tell me that for a beta release,
it works great and will probably be released with PHP 4.12!!


Take care,

Nik
