[SOLVED] Make Directory Warning

[ballouta]

Hello

 

I have posted a valude from HTML form which is 'user'.

after posting it, the php page inserts the posted values to MySQL table, everything is working till here,

 

I just added a short code inorder to make a directoy for each 'user' value posted. I wrote:

 

mkdir("stk/$user", 0700);

 

The directory has been created but i got this warning:

Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: File exists in /home/gsclteam/public_html/register.php on line 48

 

by the way I don't know what 0700 is.

Please tell how how to remove this warning message.

thanks

if you're just wanting to supress the warning:

@mkdir("stk/$user", 0700);

And the "0700" is the permission set for it.  seeing how it's a folder, change that to "0600" (7's are only used on files)

thanks alot

 

it is working

are you sure you want to just suppress the warning? that particular warning is because the directory already exists. if you don't want it to create the directory when it already exists, use this:

 

if(!is_dir("stk/$user")) mkdir("stk/$user", 0700);
