creating directory if doesnt exist

[daneth1712]

Hi,

 

I basically have a script that allows uploads to a personal folder for a user.

this part works fine.

 

I am using the below line to create their folder based on their unique ID.

This also works fine, well for the first time a user uses this, but if they wanted to upload more stuff to their folder, the script currently is trying to create the folder again, and displaying an error.

 

mkdir("C:/wamp/www/domain/test3/uploads/$id",0777);

 

How do I do a check to see if the folder is already created, and if not, create the directory, and if it is, to place the file within their folder?

 

Any help or pointers are really appreciated.

[daneth1712]

thanks for that, really helpful!

 

all works great now, used the:

 

if (is_dir($dir)){

 

and

 

elseif (!is_dir($dir)){

mkdir($dir,0777);

 

Thanks again, always esier when you know what function to use and where to look.

Hi,

 

I am having 2 little issues with saving a URL which has variable values in it into my MySQL db.

 

The line that I need to input is;

 

$path3= "http://www.domain_name.co.uk/test3/uploads/". $id . "\\". $name;

 

This is basically the path, followed by the personal folder which willbe their unique ID, followed by the name of the file.

 

The path in the database doesnt include the '/' between the 'id' folder and the name of the file.

Can anyone advise how I can get this to work?

 

My next issue is....

When someone uploads a file which contains a space, the link that I output it as stops where the space is. Is there a simple line of code I can use to make it pick up the space in the filename?

 

This is displayed from the following;

 

$root= "http://www.domain_name.co.uk/test3/";

$path= "uploads\\". $id . "\\" . $name;

$path2=$root . $path;

 

echo "<h3>Your file Link Is: </h3><a href=$path2>$path2</a>

 

Any pointers are very welcome and much appreciated!
