[SOLVED] PHP upload problem

[thenewperson]

having problem with upload script. Trying to have uploaded files upload to the folder "/uploads/"their username"/"their file"". But every time i upload something the folder does not create when it does not exist. The code im using below

 

<?php
if(isset(  $_GET['user'] ) &&    
            strlen( trim(  $_GET['user']  )  ) > 0   ){ 
    $user = trim(  $_GET['user'] ) ; 
} else { 
   ## handle blank username 
} 


if( ! ctype_alnum ( $user  ) ){ 
  ## do something if $user is not alphanumeric 
  echo "incorrect username";
}  

$the_path = '/uploads/' ; 

$user_dir = $the_path . $user . '/private' ; 

if( ! is_dir ( $user_dir  )  ){ 
   # try to make the directory 
   if( ! mkdir(   $user_dir ,  0755 ) ){   
       ### handle fact that directory not made... 
   } 

}  

move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
      "'$user_dir . $user . '/private/"  . str_replace (" ", "",$_FILES["file"]["name"] . $file));
?>

You need to make BOTH folders, create the users folder THEN create the private folder inside

You need to make BOTH folders, create the users folder THEN create the private folder inside

if i recall someone said mkdir will make the directorys if doesnt exist? I need the folders to create themselves on upload without  doing it manually

Okay let me ask a question

 

If i was a new user, I assume I have no folder or private folder

So when you do

mkdir('/uploads/MadTechie/private');

/uploads/MadTechie/private

can not be created because

/uploads/MadTechie

doesn't exists

 

so your need to create BOTH ie

mkdir('/uploads/MadTechie');
mkdir('/uploads/MadTechie/private');
