script that checks if personal dir is on server, if not makes dir.

[Nickdekoning]

Hello everyone! I'm a complete newb on php, but i am trying to make a script that checks if the users personal dir is already made, if not, the script must make the dir.

 

The nickname of the person is in a cookie.

 

Here is the script:

<?php
            $ftp_server = "ftp.--.com/--/";
            $ftp_user_name = "--";
            $ftp_user_pass = "--";
      
            
            
            
            // set up basic connection
            $conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server); 

            // login with username and password
            $login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
             

            // check connection
            if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) { 
                echo "FTP connection has failed!";
                echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user $ftp_user_name"; 
                  exit; 
                } else {
                    echo "Connected to $ftp_server, for user $ftp_user_name";
            }

		//check if dir is available and close connection
		if(is_dir($_COOKIE['ID_my_site']))
  {
ftp_close($conn_id); 
header("Location: member.php");
  }
else
  {
  ftp_mkdir($conn_id, "$_COOKIE['ID_my_site']", 0777);
  ftp_close($conn_id); 
  header("Location: member.php");
  }
?> 

 

It gives the error:

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /usr/home/deb17473/domains/nick-dekoning.nl/--/check2.php on line 33

 

I thinkt the problem is the $cookie tag. Could someone please help me with fixing this script?

Try:

ftp_mkdir($conn_id, $_COOKIE['ID_my_site'], 0777);

[Nickdekoning]

changed it to:

 ftp_mkdir($conn_id, $_COOKIE['ID_my_site']);

, and now the error is:

 

Connected to //website//, for user --

Warning: ftp_mkdir() [function.ftp-mkdir]: Invalid number of arguments in /--/check2.php on line 32

 

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /--/check2.php:21) in /--/check2.php on line 34

 

(I removed one space in the document so the former line 33 is now 32)

and now the error is:

Warning: ftp_mkdir() [function.ftp-mkdir]: Invalid number of arguments in /--/check2.php on line 32

 

I'm pretty sure that error means the cookie is empty. I just tested your code and it worked fine. I changed some parts to make it work.

<?php
$ftp_server = "ftp.mysite.com";
$ftp_user_name = "myusername";
$ftp_user_pass = "mypassword";

/* set up basic connection */
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server); 

/* login with username and password */
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
             
/* check connection */
if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result))
{
	echo "FTP connection has failed!<br />";
                echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user $ftp_user_name";
	exit;
} else {
	echo "Connected to $ftp_server, for user $ftp_user_name<br />";
}

$test = "public_html/testing";

/* check if dir is available and close connection */
if(!@ftp_mkdir($conn_id, $test))
{
		ftp_close($conn_id);
	echo "<br />That directory already exists.";
} else {
	@ftp_mkdir($conn_id, $test);
	ftp_close($conn_id); 
	echo "<br />The directory has been created.";
}
?>

Yes, it works now! You helped me alot! thanks!

 

Here is the final script:

 

<?php
$ftp_server = "nick-dekoning.nl";
$ftp_user_name = "--";
$ftp_user_pass = "--";

/* set up basic connection */
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server); 

/* login with username and password */
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
             
/* check connection */
if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result))
{
	echo "FTP connection has failed!<br />";
                echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user $ftp_user_name";
	exit;
} else {
	echo "Connected to $ftp_server, for user $ftp_user_name<br />";
}

/* check if dir is available and close connection */
if(!@ftp_mkdir($conn_id, $_COOKIE['ID_my_site']))
{
		ftp_close($conn_id);
	echo "1";
} else {
	@ftp_mkdir($conn_id, $_COOKIE['ID_my_site']);
	ftp_close($conn_id); 
	echo "2";
}
?>
