Stupid MKDIR Error - Simple file upload script?

[wmguk]

Hey guys,

 

I'm trying to run a simple script.

 

The Aim:

 

Page Loads,

 

if the directory exists, do nothing....

 

if not then create the directory, as 777 and copy a file to it.

 

this is my code

<?php
session_start(); 
if (!isset($_SESSION['myusername'])) {
    header("location:index.php");
    exit; } 
$user = $_SESSION['myusername'];
$login = $_POST['login'];
include "../scripts/connection.php";
include "../scripts/ftpaccess.php";
$_GET['login'] = $login;
include "create.php" ;
?>

 

//THIS IS THE ONCLICK FUNCTION - WHICH WORKS TO RUN A POP UP

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function ftpaccess()
{
 var popurl="<? echo $ftpacc ; ?>"
 winpops=window.open(popurl,"","width=600,height=400,scrollbars,menubar,resizable,")
}

</script>

 

<?PHP
//This is ../scripts/ftpaccess.php

$ftpuser = "ftpdomain";
$ftppass = "imagine";
$ftplocation = "ftp.domain.co.uk/httpdocs/clients";
$ftpacc = "ftp://$ftpuser:$ftppass@$ftplocation/$login" ;
$incdir = "http://www.domain.co.uk/clients/create.php" ;
?>

 

<?php
// THIS IS create.php

$thisdir = "/var/www/vhosts/domain.co.uk/httpdocs/clients";
$login = $_GET['login'];

$getpics = "/var/www/vhosts/domain.co.uk/httpdocs/clients/getpics.php";
$newdir = "/var/www/vhosts/domain.co.uk/httpdocs/clients/$login/getpics.php";

if (is_dir($thisdir ."/$login") )
{
}
else
{
if(mkdir($thisdir ."/$login" , 777, true)){
}

else
{
   echo "<p class='footer'>Failed to create directory... <br> Contact <a href='mailto:drew@wicked-websites.co.uk'>Wicked Websites</a></p>";
} 

copy("$getpics", "$newdir"); }
?>

 

However for some reason, it is creating as 755, I'm always getting permission denied when trying to upload to the folder, and I was just wondering if there is a much simpler version to upload files?

You need to use 0777 instead of 777 in your mkdir() function

[wmguk]

ah sorry, thats a typo, it was 0777, but after that didnt work i tried 777 instead...

[JonnoTheDev]

Check out the chmod() function

[wmguk]

i did look at chmod, but i thought that specifying it on the mkdir would be the same...

 

i just thought maybe i was doing something totally stupid or there was a simple section of code to do what im doing in 3 pages of includes lol...

 

it is working because it creates the folder but it creates it with 0755 not 0777

[JonnoTheDev]

The default permissions for mkdir() are 0777 but this is not always (usually) the case.

Its a wierd one but chmod() should allow you to change the permissions.

 

You could also create directories using exec()

exec("mkdir /path/folder");

exec("chmod -R 777 /path/folder");
