using rename to move to an uncreated directory

[cooldude832]

I'm trying to expand my CMS for ppl who don't want to .htaccess mod it.  Meaning that I need physical files in locations instead of using .htaccess and the request URL to use a single php processor.

 

In my admin section I can "move" the physical file via

<?php
if(!is_file(ROOT.$url)){
		$q = "Select Url from `".PAGES_TABLE."` Where PageID = '".$id."'";
		$r = mysql_query($q) or die(mysql_error()."<br /><br />".$q);
		$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($r);
		if(rename(ROOT.$row['Url'],ROOT.$url)){
			$_SESSION['No_Errors'][] = "The file was moved.";
		}
		else{
			$_SESSION['Errors'][] = "Error moving the file.";
		}
	}
?>

My only issue is when the directory isn't there I get the error on the rename function.  Anyone got a crafty idea to integrate viral directory growth on this?

Before moving anything, check to see if the directory exists, and if it doesn't, create it:

 

if(!file_exists("directory/subdirectory"))
{
    mkdir("directory/subdirectory");
}

it seems so simple I think I'll try it.

 

I was thinking I needed to do something more complex because of the directory structure I have.
