[SOLVED] PHP 5 Creating Directory Issue

[townclown]

Hi,

I am having an irritating issue when trying to check if exists/create a directory.

Here is the code i am using:

    $dirname = "HE";    

if (!is_dir("{$dirname}")) 
{
	print("Error: The directory <b>({$dirname})</b> doesn't exist");
	mkdir("{$dirname}", 0777);
	print( " The directory {$dirname} has been successfully created.");    
}
else
{	
	print "Directory Already Exists";
               //more stuff to go in here
}

If the directory doesn't exist, it runs through the motions and creates it perfectly.

My problem comes if the directory does exist, the browser opens the index of that directory instead of staying on the .php page that is running this script so anything in the else part( or anything that comes after the if statement) doesn't run.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Try using file_exists() instead of is_dir() also it might be a problem with whatever code is in your else block unless you're having problems with that basic script that you posted.

Thanks, will try that; there is currently nothing in the else block other than the print.

Same outcome with file_exists()
