Freshman mistake.

$file2 = fopen($copydir . /play.txt, w+);

You're trying to read a data stream in file_get_contents() that
was opened with fopen().  Don't.

Instead, replace the line of code above with:

$file2 = $copydir.'/play.txt';

 and then RTFM on how to use file_get_contents().

Hi, Daniel:
  
   Thanks, it turned out that other than using your suggestion, it turned out 
that using copy() works great. 
   However, is it possible for me not to use the actual physical url as I have 
provided in my code to access the information I intend to copy? 
   My goal is to be able to search through the remote directory, and find the 
matched files of a certain format and copy it to another server. 

Is this possible?

Alice
