How do I go about copying a file to another folder say from a dir called "form_data" to a dir called "moderated". Both these folders are within a folder called "test". I want files to move from the "form_data" folder to the "moderator" folder.

rename('test/form_data/file1.txt', 'test/moderated/file1.txt');
This will 'move' it by the way, not sure if you want to copy or move as you mention both

If you want to copy then see
http://php.net/copy

To move a file could i use a function that copies the file to the second folder and deletes it from the first folder

Yeah, that's what
http://php.net/rename does
