How copy entire directory from one folder two another using laravel 5

Question

May be it's so easy but I couldn't find any proper answer in google or here!!

I did use

\File::copyDirectory('public/' . $token . '/cover/', $folderName . '/cover/');

but there's no different!!

This is where I found above solution.

Do you know how can I copy entire directory from one folder to another using laravel 5.4?

Thanks in Advance

Solution 1

More than one year later :)

Use path helpers functions https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/helpers

\File::copyDirectory( public_path . 'to/the/app', resource_path('to/the/app'));

Solution 2

We can do it in laravel 5.8 using file facade as followings:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\File;  

File::copyDirectory(__DIR__.'/form-directory', resource_path('to-directory'));

Hope, it'll be helpful.

Solution 3

Just do this:

   /* Move test images from public folder to storage folder */
    $source = "source/path";
    $destination = "public/files";

    File::copyDirectory(base_path($source), base_path($destination));
