mkdir help

[stig1]

Is it possible to do the following.

 

1. Run an sql script to get all the customer's numbers from our database. (this is possible, and i can do this part easy)

 

2. For each customer number pulled from the sql script, create a directory, if the directory does not exist already on the server.

 

3. Can the directory / directories be created on another server not running the php script, basically the webserver runs the script, and the directory is created on the other server?

 

Help is apprecaited.

2. See mkdir

3. Depends. Can you mount the filesystem of this other server or somehow gain access to it. If so, what protocol?

i have the drive mapped in windows on my local computer.. and i run php via xampp on my local computer.

 

would it work? like the drive is mapped as x

[trq]

Yes it'll work. As long as your server has enough permissions to write to the X: drive.

So how would i go about doing it?

 

Looked at the mkdir function, bit confused...

 

Cause i would put it in a while loop from the sql statement.

I'm not sure whats confusing about the mkdir function, its takes a the path to the directory you want to create as an argument.eg;

 

mkdir('X:\mynewdir');
