Hi need help in creating nested folders.

I currently have a folder called images and i would like to clone the folders and save it in a different folder call backup. and the backup will only happen when user clicks backup.

For example:

- Images

 - Car

    - A

      - A1

        - A1-1

      - A2

    - B

 - Van

How can i write the code so that it will create the folders?

Currently i have done this so how can i do it?

public function sync(Request $request)

{

    $arr = ;

    $folderToSync = $request->input('folderName');



    $originalPath = public_path($folderToSync);

    $newFolderPath = public_path('S3/'.$folderToSync);



    $this->createFolder($newFolderPath); // create the selected folder



    $directories = $this->getAllFolders($originalPath); // getting all folders under the original path



    $this->folder($directories, $newFolderPath, $originalPath);



    dd('end');

}



public function createFolder($path)

{

    if (!is_dir($path)) {

        @mkdir($path, 0777, true);

    }

}



public function folder($directories, $newFolderPath, $originalPath)

{

    foreach ($directories as $directory) {

        $newPath = $newFolderPath.'/'.$directory;

        $oriPath = $originalPath.'/'.$directory;



        $this->createFolder($newPath);

        $subFolders = $this->getAllFolders($oriPath);



        if ($subFolders) {

            $this->subfolder($subFolders, $newPath);

        }

    }

}



public function subfolder($directories, $path)

{

    foreach ($directories as $directory) {

        $this->createFolder($path.'/'.$directory);

    }

}



public function getAllFolders($path)

{

    return array_map('basename', File::directories($path));

}



public function getAllFiles($path)

{

    return;

}

but its not creating the subfolders. How can i modify it ?

i would run the code every week and i want to check also which folder have been created and which have not been created. if the folder does not exist then create the folder.

I would have a look at the storage api from the Laravel documentation: https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/filesystem#directories

To acquire folders and subfolders:

// Recursive...

$directories = Storage::allDirectories($directory);

Creating a new directory:

Storage::makeDirectory($directory);

Storing files:

Storage::put('file.jpg', $contents);



Storage::put('file.jpg', $resource);

The put method will take either the file contents or a resource.

Don't forget to include the Storage facade:

use IlluminateSupportFacadesStorage;
