The code contains two functions. You need to run the MoveDirectory function pass it the source and destination directories. If copy is set to false the origional dir is removed. If it is set to true the origional dir is not deleted.

function MoveDirectory($source,$dest,$copy=false) {
//remove trailing slashes
if (substr($dest,-1) == "\\") $dest = substr($dest,0,strlen($dest)-1);
if (substr($source,-1) == "\\") $source = substr($source,0,strlen($source)-1);
if (!file_exists($source)) return FALSE;

Ensure_Sub_Directory_Exists($dest);

//now copy all the files & direcrtories to the new location and deltet them
$d = opendir($source);
while ($f = readdir($d)) {
$l = $source . "\\" . $f;
if (is_dir($l)) {
if (!($f['value']=="." || $f=="..")) {
MoveDirectory($l,$dest . "\\" . $f,$copy);
};
} else {
copy( $l ,$dest . "\\" . $f);
if (!$copy) {
//we are moving the directory so we should delete the file
unlink($l);
};
};
};
closedir($d);
if (!$copy) {

};
return TRUE;
};
function Ensure_Sub_Directory_Exists($dir) {
//When passed a directory create it

//does $b exist?
