Problem Copying File to Directory Location

[BOXiD]

Hi. im building a script for my members to join my site, when they join a folder is created automatically, thats done, what i cant do is copy a file from c:\Server\new\index.php to c:\Server\www\$user\index.php

the $user bit is stopping me, can anyone help, ive tried for the past 2 hours and got nowhere with that, thanks.

Hi BOXiD, Welcome to WebmasterWorld.

Are you getting an error? Does the variable $user contain the value that you want?

hi i dont get an error, it creates the account in the database it just doesnt copy the file.
