Question

The cakephp documentation is a bit poor according the File api and I would like to use it to copy one file to another directory and if the directory does not exist to create it.

Thanks!

Answer 1

You can do something like this:

$file = new File('your_file.ext');

if ($file->exists()) {
    $dir = new Folder('folder_inside_webroot', true);
    $file->copy($dir->path . DS . $file->name);
}

API about these classes:

• Folder;
• File;

I hope it helps.
