MKDIR problem

ChrisMartino · November 27, 2009

Hey there, Thanks for taking the time to read my problem, The problem is i get the following error:

"Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: No such file or directory in /home/christop/public_html/websites/file/register.php on line 88"

This is how i am using mkdir: "mkdir("/home/userarea/$username", 0777);"

The directory /home/userarea dose exist so is there any reason for this error?.

Ok i seem to have fixed the error, But it dose not create the file?.

Post the code to show us where it attempts to create the file. As if it does create the DIR, the file should be created as well...or are you saying it is executing but the DIR is not being put on the server.

mkdir() does not create files. It creates a directory!

However, if that is what you mean't then you must also be aware that the webserver must have the appropriate permissions to create a directory in the specified path. Read the manual for examples:
