[SOLVED] problem with mkdir

[grandman]

Hello,

 

I desperately need help now, as I no longer know what "mkdir()" is doing. I had problems with getting it to go to the correct directory, we'll that's resolved.

 

Now it's going to the directory and then just displaying the index file in that directory, it's not making the sub directory I want.

 

The problem I thought was with my using the variable $username as the new directory name, then I realised I needed to add a simple db query to retrieve the username. The script looks like this (is still WIP)

 

<?php 

ob_start();

$conn = mysql_connect("host", "user name", "password") or die(mysql_error());

mysql_select_db('dbname', $conn) or die(mysql_error());

$fields = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM db",$Database);

$vars = mysql_result($fields,"vars");

$vars = $_POST["username"];   

$filename = "on/cont/{$Username}";   

if (file_exists($filename)) {   

header ( "Location: " . "$filename" . $_POST["username"]);

} else {   

mkdir("on/cont/ . {$Username}", 0777);   

echo "welcome " . $_POST["username"] . "Your Area Is Being created.";   

} 

ob_end_flush();

?>   

 

and all I get is the index file in the end folder, it does nothing ??? I am finally going mad, it will not make a directory, please, please help me someone... For heck sake it's found the directory, it must now have the correct user name, what more does it want "blood"???

$username is still undefined. Where are you trying to get it from? The database?

 

Oh, and the second parameter for mysql_result should be integer corresponding to the row in the result set you wish to use.
