Whats the best way to copy files?

PHP

Hi,
I am allowing users to upload files, I upload them into a directory which has 777 permissions. I then need to copy this file to a directory viewable by the public, so what permissions should I put on it?

Thanks

Well, you could copy, but then you get duplicate files. If you Rename the files, they will actually be moved on the filesystem.

Example:

rename('./temp/image.jpg', './username/albumname/image.jpg');

More info on rename here: Rename() at PHP Manual
