I am trying to move a file from one path to another in PHP without success

I am trying to move a file 'avatars/generic.jpg' to a folder that has a dynamic variable in it - $_SESSION['user_id'] - the path would look like this 

avatars/$_SESSION['user_id']/generic.jpg

but I can't get it to work using the copy function in PHP. I have tried curly braces etc around the session variable without success....

Any suggestions?

kindly use . as to concatinate the variables 

"...avatars/".$_SESSION['user_id']."/generic.jpg ";

Try: 

<?php
    copy("avatars/generic.jpg", "avatars/" . $_SESSION['user_id'] . "/generic.jpg"); 
?>

By using the '.' operator for concatenation you don't have to worry about escaping.
