copy_resource()

Description

Create a new resource, copying all data from the resource with reference $from.
Note this copies only the data and not any attached file. It's very unlikely the
same file would be in the system twice, however users may want to clone an existing resource
to avoid reentering data if the resource is very similar.
If $resource_type if specified then the resource type for the new resource will be set to $resource_type
rather than simply copied from the $from resource.

Parameters

Column	Type	Default	Description
$from	int		ID of resource
$resource_type	mixed	-1	ID of resource type

Return

boolean|integer

Location

include/resource_functions.php lines 3500 to 3615
