[SOLVED] How do I make a subfolder inside of a folder?

[pneudralics]

I was looking at mkdir() but didn't really get it.

Tried

mkdir("pathgoeshere", 0700);

 

All I get is file exists.

 

I want to make a folder inside of a folder and be able to name it at the same time.

Thanks.

That's what mkdir does.  Can you post the exact path?

 

It should be i.e. "path/new_dir_name"

[pneudralics]

<?php
mkdir("C:\wamp\www\", 0700);
?>

 

Does the new name go after www\?

 

The above gives me the error: Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: Invalid argument in C:\wamp\www\test.php on line 2

Yes, the name of the directory goes in the path, how else would it know the directory name you're trying to create?

 

The reason for the error is because you need to escape the forward slashes, it's escaping the quote which creates an invalid argument.

 

mkdir("C:\\wamp\\www\\new_dir", 0700);

Not to be picky... but those are backslashes

 

Forward slashes lean forward

Ah yes, you're right.  I'm on a linux system so my slashes are always forward.
