Copies a file to a new location and adds a file record to the database.

This function should be used when manipulating files that have records stored in the database. This is a powerful function that in many ways performs like an advanced version of copy().

  • Checks if $source and $destination are valid and readable/writable.
  • If file already exists in $destination either the call will error out, replace the file or rename the file based on the $replace parameter.
  • If the $source and $destination are equal, the behavior depends on the $replace parameter. FileSystemInterface::EXISTS_REPLACE will error out. FileSystemInterface::EXISTS_RENAME will rename the file until the $destination is unique.
  • Adds the new file to the files database. If the source file is a temporary file, the resulting file will also be a temporary file. See file_save_upload() for details on temporary files.

Parameters

\Drupal\file\FileInterface $source: A file entity.

string $destination: A string containing the destination that $source should be copied to. This must be a stream wrapper URI.

int $replace: (optional) Replace behavior when the destination file already exists. Possible values include:

Return value

\Drupal\file\FileInterface|false File entity if the copy is successful, or FALSE in the event of an error.
