*nix isnt windows... windows creates a "copy" file only macosX offers something similar since it downloads you dont know why sometimes files you only downloaded but just wanted to look at ( often PDF files...) adding (X) to the file name and incrementing X.
To my knowledge no modern unix would accept that you cp a file on itself, allowing it would end with a file size 0, so you must give second parameter and it should be at least an existing directory ( file is optional if keeping the same name )
Your only choice if you dont want to give a second parameter because the file will be in the same directory is to write a script where you use the the first param for the second adding an extension to the original file name

touch - Sets access and modification time of file
SYNOPSIS
bool touch (string $filename, [int $time = time()], [int $atime])
DESCRIPTION
Attempts to set the access and modification times of the file named in the $filename parameter to the value given in $time. Note that the
access time is always modified, regardless of the number of parameters.
If the file does not exist, it will be created.
PARAMETERS
o $filename
- The name of the file being touched.
o $time
- The touch time. If $time is not supplied, the current system time is used.
o $atime
- If present, the access time of the given filename is set to the value of $atime. Otherwise, it is set to the value passed to the
$time parameter. If neither are present, the current system time is used.
RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

$time = time() - 3600;
// Touch the file
if (!touch('some_file.txt', $time)) {
echo 'Whoops, something went wrong...';
} else {
echo 'Touched file with success';
}
?>
NOTES
