    Need Help Copying Specific .jpgs from Old Folder to a New Folder

    Hi All! Need help from a PHP expert! I want to go through my picture files and pull out only what is being used. I want to list the files on a txt list or in a mysql table and copy the files on the list to a new folder.
    I got help on Experts Exchange but we can not make the code work. I have the skutlist.txt and the copyfromherefolder and copiedpictsfolder installed in my /httpdocs folder.The codde below does not seem to be reading the simulated list in copyfiles.php. It gives error "NOT READABLE". Could this be a permission problem on the server?

    My Code:<?php
    error_reporting(E_ALL);

    // SET THE INPUT AND OUTPUT DIRECTORIES
    $in = 'copyfromherefolder';
    $ot = 'copiedpictsfolder';
    // SIMULATE READING THE LIST OF FILE NAMES WITH file_get_contents('skulist.txt');
    $skulist = <<<SKULIST

    SKULIST;
    // MAKE AN ARRAY FROM THE LIST
    $arr = explode(PHP_EOL, $skulist);
    // ACTIVATE THIS TO SEE THE ARRAY
    // var_dump($arr);
    // ITERATE OVER THE ARRAY
    foreach ($arr as $f)
    {
    // REMOVE UNWANTED EOL CHARACTERS
    $f = trim($f);
    // REMOVE CACHED FILE INFORMATION
    clearstatcache();
    // CREATE FILE PATHS
    $i = $in . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $f;
    $o = $ot . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $f;
    // CAN WE READ THE FILE?
    if (is_file($i))
    {
    if ($x = copy($i, $o))
    {
    echo PHP_EOL . "<br/>COPIED $i TO $o";
    }
    else
    {
    echo PHP_EOL . "<br/>DID NOT COPY $i TO $o";
    }
    // IF COPY SUCCESSFUL - OPTIONALLY REMOVE THE OLD VERSION
    // if ($x) unlink($i);
    }
    else
    {
    echo PHP_EOL . "<br/>NOT READABLE: $i";
    }
    }
Working...
