When I'm trying to copy few files:

$elmenets = array();
$elements[0] = 'some_file_1';
$elements[1] = 'some_file_2';
$elements[2] = 'some_file_3';
$elements[3] = 'some_file_4';
$elements[4] = 'some_file_5';

for ($i=0; $i<count($elements); $i++) {
 $copied = @copy($some_path.$elemets[$i],$some_path2.$elemets[$i]);
}

files are always copied but $copied sometime return true, sometime return false.
Same thing is when try to unlink files with the same method.
When remove '@' there is no error.

Permissions for directories are OK.

OK
While testing my script I see this is a bug :)
But only when filesize is 0B. Why I think this is a bug ?
Because:

if (@copy($some_path.$elemets[$i],$some_path2.$elemets[$i])) {
 echo 'File was copied.';
} else {
 echo 'File not copied.';
}

target file is created (what means the file was copied) but $copied return false.

Im using windows2000 with apache and php4.3.0.  I have noticed that copying a zero size file does actually work but PHP thinks it didn't.
if(copy("d:/dirsrc/file.txt", "d:/dirdest/file.txt"))
{
 //The copy works but does not end up here...
 echo "Copy worked";
}else{
 //...It ends up here
 echo "file.txt is in dirdest but ended up here";
} 
"

You know that ? When you will fix it ?

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip

I'm not certain about the order of the events but I believe the fix for this came after the release of PHP 4.3.0/4.3.1... Try out a current snapshot to see if it fixes things.
