2. 11.x core/modules/file/src/FileRepositoryInterface.php \Drupal\file\FileRepositoryInterface::move()

Moves a file to a new location and update the file's database entry.

• Checks if $source and $destination are valid and readable/writable.
• Performs a file move if $source is not equal to $destination.
• If file already exists in $destination either the call will error out, replace the file or rename the file based on the $replace parameter.
• Adds the new file to the files database.

Parameters

\Drupal\file\FileInterface $source: A file entity.

string $destination: A string containing the destination that $source should be moved to. This must be a stream wrapper URI.

int $replace: (optional) The replace behavior when the destination file already exists. Possible values include:

• FileSystemInterface::EXISTS_RENAME: (default) Append _{incrementing number} until the filename is unique.
• FileSystemInterface::EXISTS_REPLACE: Replace the existing file. If a managed file with the destination name exists then its database entry will be updated and $source->delete() called after invoking hook_file_move(). If no database entry is found, then the source files record will be updated.
• FileSystemInterface::EXISTS_ERROR: Do nothing and throw a \Drupal\Core\File\Exception\FileExistsException.

Return value

\Drupal\file\FileInterface The file entity.

Throws

\Drupal\Core\File\Exception\FileException Thrown when there is an error writing to the file system.

\Drupal\Core\File\Exception\FileExistsException Thrown when the destination exists and $replace is set to FileSystemInterface::EXISTS_ERROR.

\Drupal\Core\File\Exception\InvalidStreamWrapperException Thrown when the destination is an invalid stream wrapper.

\Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityStorageException Thrown when there is an error saving the file.
