So I just declare at the beginning:

if(!is_dir($to_path))
mkdir($to_path, 0777);

The code works. But how can I make sure $from_path exists first and fails if
not?
Same thing?

if(!is_dir($from_path))
{
echo "failed";
exit;
}

The first time I ran it, I ran it with a non-existing $from_path directory
and the function ran anyways.
I thought the function had a built-in safe-guard?

---------snip--------------
if(!is_dir($from_path))
{
echo "failed";
exit;
}else{
rec_copy($from_path, $to_path);
echo "files copies from $from_path and backed up to $to_path";
}
