mkdir subfolder

[lvertel]

hello people

 

here is my simple problem :

 

							// CREATING ARTIST FOLDER

								mkdir("users/".$username."");				
								chmod("users/".$username."",0777);

								mkdir("users/".$username."/".$name_artist."/images" );
								chmod("users/".$username."/".$name_artist."/images",0777);

								mkdir("users/".$username."/".$name_artist."/images/thumbs");
								chmod("users/".$username."/".$name_artist."/images/thumbs",0777);
							// END CREATING ARTIST FOLDER

 

i am having 3 MKDIR's...

 

first one is working, but the other 2 doesnt... .what is the prob :S ????

[rhodesa]

you should just be able to do this:

<?php
mkdir("users/".$username."/".$name_artist."/images/thumbs",0777,true);
?>

 

[lvertel]

hey rhodesa.

 

this is not working because i am working on a windows server, and i need to do mkdir first and then chmod....

 

but anyway, my problem is creating the subfolders...

[rhodesa]

k, then:

<?php
  mkdir("users/".$username."/".$name_artist."/images/thumbs",0777,true);
  chmod("users/".$username."",0777);
  chmod("users/".$username."/".$name_artist."/images",0777);
  chmod("users/".$username."/".$name_artist."/images/thumbs",0777);
?>

the mkdir() with that true on the end should recursively create all the folders

[lvertel]

damn, still doesnt work...

 

basically this is what i have :

 

-ROOT

    -USERS

    -SCRIPTS

  -IMAGES

 

 

my php files are in root folder,and i want to create those folders in USERS folder.

 

i tried your code but i cant ..it says : "[17:23:05] 550 /httpdocs/users/-4/bib: No such file or directory" (in ftp), and permissions are at 700...so i cant even delete...

 

hmmm, i really wonder how could i create those folders in USER ??

Here's a function to handle this

function mkdir_recursive($pathname, $mode)
{
    is_dir(dirname($pathname)) || mkdir_recursive(dirname($pathname), $mode);
    return is_dir($pathname) || @mkdir($pathname, $mode);
}

 

then you would use it like this

$old=umask(0); 
$path="users/".$username."/".$name_artist."/images/tumbs",0777); 
mkdir_recursive($path, 0777); 
umask($old); 

hello people

								chmod("users/".$username."/".$name_artist."/images",0777);

								mkdir("users/".$username."/".$name_artist."/images/thumbs");
								chmod("users/".$username."/".$name_artist."/images/thumbs",0777);
							// END CREATING ARTIST FOLDER

 

i am having 3 MKDIR's...

 

first one is working, but the other 2 doesnt... .what is the prob :S ????

[lvertel]

ok ill try this,

 

but did i tell you that the USERS/$USERNAME ----> that is already created

 

now i need to put $artist_name/$images in the $username folder....

 

u understand ?

[taquitosensei]

That's fine

is_dir(dirname($pathname)) || mkdir_recursive(dirname($pathname), $mode);

if it's a directory or it can make directory it moves on to the next

[lvertel]

huh, your function returns a white screen....

[rhodesa]

let's back up...if you echo $username, what is it? cus your error leads me to believe it's -4 ???

[lvertel]

if i ECHO it with your function, it brings me nothing, blank screen..

 

but if i just delete your function and echo $username, it gives me  : lvertel ....which is my account with whom im testing everything...

[rhodesa]

ok...let's try this:

<?php
  $folder = "users/{$username}/{$name_artist}/images/thumbs";
  echo "Trying to create folders: $path<br />";
  $paths = explode('/',$folder);
  $path = "";
  for($n=0;$n < count($paths);$n++){
    $path .= $paths[$n].'/';
    mkdir($path,0777) or die("Could not make: $path");
    chmod($path,0777) or die("Could not chmod: $path");
    print "Done with: $path<br />";
  }
  print "Done!";
?>

[lvertel]

this is what i get :

 

 

Trying to create folders:

Could not make: users/

[rhodesa]

sorry...should test to see if the folder exists:

<?php
  $folder = "users/{$username}/{$name_artist}/images/thumbs";
  echo "Trying to create folders: $path<br />";
  $paths = explode('/',$folder);
  $path = "";
  for($n=0;$n < count($paths);$n++){
    $path .= $paths[$n].'/';
    if(is_dir($path))
      print "Folder already exists: $path<br />";
    else
      mkdir($path,0777) or die("Could not make: $path");
    chmod($path,0777) or die("Could not chmod: $path");
    print "Done with: $path<br />";
  }
  print "Done!";
?>

[lvertel]

lol, nothing comes out...

 

anyway, i dont understand why u try to echo : "trying to create folders : $path....

 

when path wasnt declared yet ???? lol

[taquitosensei]

echo out your variables and make sure they're right. Because in windows you can't create a "-4" folder.  That's what causing the problem.  The function I put up there would work fine if the folder name was valid.

echo "Username: ".$username."<br>"; 
echo "Name_Artist: ".$name_artist."<br>"; 

 

[lvertel]

well it echo's the username(lvertel) and the artist name i give it to him...

[taquitosensei]

how about posting all the code, because at some point the Name equals "-4"

[lvertel]

hey,

 

my code in the php is VERY long, so i attached the .php file here..

 

you can find it on the line 98 !!!

you are correct...i meant $folder for that print statement:

<?php
  $folder = "users/{$username}/{$name_artist}/images/thumbs";
  echo "Trying to create folders: $folder<br />";
  $paths = explode('/',$folder);
  $path = "";
  for($n=0;$n < count($paths);$n++){
    $path .= $paths[$n].'/';
    if(is_dir($path))
      print "Folder already exists: $path<br />";
    else
      mkdir($path,0777) or die("Could not make: $path");
    chmod($path,0777) or die("Could not chmod: $path");
    print "Done with: $path<br />";
  }
  print "Done!";
?>

[lvertel]

grrrr

i tried it and this is the result :

 

Trying to create folders: users/lvertel/ppp/images/thumbs

Folder already exists: users/

Could not chmod: users/

 

it didnt create the folder, i guess it sees that the folder USERS is already here so it dont create subfolders :s

[rhodesa]

what are the permissions on the users folder?

[lvertel]

all 777...

 

i think its the problem that he wants to create a folder users/etc...

n then he see users is already made, so he stops :s

[rhodesa]

well...not sure what else to say. i'm more of a LAMP then a WAMP guy

[DavidT]

I guess that's the point...

By using that explode system, the first time you're attempting to create "users/".

That exists already, so you get error.

You can try by setting $n=1 in the first for... but then it tries to create "Ivertel/" and this does exists also if I get it right, isn't it?

Actually what's the point in all that explode stuff?

all 777...

 

i think its the problem that he wants to create a folder users/etc...

n then he see users is already made, so he stops :s
