That error usually means that you have a character in your code that shouldn't be there and it assumes you should have it between "", so it can't write it out. It doesn't understand the character code. Example: You had something like this: (fuzzy characters)$file = "dailynoaareport"; It tried to interpet the $ sign with those characters. They should be space-es but obviously they wern't. I reorganized the code with my trusty Kate and it works fine. You can copy paste the code below, and it should work. It's fuzzy character free. :) And you should look into your text editor for the problem. <?php ini_set('display_errors', 1); error_reporting(E_ALL); $file = "dailynoaareport"; $newfile = "dailynoaarepot-bk"; //$backupLocation = '/backup'; if (!copy($file, $newfile)) { echo "failed to copy $file...\n"; } ?>
