I try to copy a couple of files located on my container using the method
CF_container->copy_object_to('th/image_a.jpg',Object(CF_container),'th/image_a_copy.jpg')
But when I try to copy a file that exists I got this message
Specified object 'container_name/th/image_a.jpg' did not exist as source to copy from or 'container_name' did not exist as target to copy to.
What I doing wrong? This operation is impossible to do? This operation cannot allowed?
Thanks for your answer.
It looks like you're using the SDK from php-cloudfiles. The copy_object_to function can be found on github here.
That library has been deprecated in favor of php-opencloud. The documentation can be found here
The new function to use when copying an object is DataObject::Copy and can be found here.
The programming logic to make a copy of a Cloud Files object with the php-opencloud library would look something like the following:
// we must include this file
require_once "php-opencloud.php";
define('AUTHURL', RACKSPACE_US);
// create new Rackspace connection
$connection = new \OpenCloud\Rackspace(AUTHURL,
array('username' => USERNAME, 'apiKey' => APIKEY));
// connect to ObjectStore
$object_store = $connection->ObjectStore();
// create a container named CONTAINER_NAME
$cont = $ostore->Container();
$cont->Create(array('name'=>CONTAINER_NAME));
// create an object in that container
$obj = $cont->DataObject();
$obj->Create(array('name' => 'test_obj', 'content_type' => 'text/plain'), __FILE__);
// copy it to another object
$target = $cont->DataObject();
$target->name = $obj->Name().'-COPY';
$obj->Copy($target);
If you are unable to upgrade to using the php-opencloud library, it looks like another user had a similar problem here and tracked it down to a double-encoded slash.
