so i will ask the user to enter a name of the folder. for example if he gives the name chaitu

 

then it should check the for this folder name if not exists create that. and then create one more folder inside that with the present date.

 

so the folder structure should be like this

</head>
<body>
<tr>
    <td>Folder Name:</td>
    <td><input name="filegive" type="text" id="filegive" size="50" value=""/></td>
    <td><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="ccc" accesskey="ENTER" tabindex="2" /></td>
  </tr>
</body>
</html>
<?php

$give=$_POST['filegive'];
$path="D:\\share\\";
$path .= "$give\\";
if(!chdir($path))

Define 'it is not working..'

 

Also, what exactly is the point of executing chdir ?

10q for your time thrope..

i have figured out where i was doing wrong..!! ;)

 

<?php
function _directory_exists($dir)
{
   if(is_dir($dir))
   {
       echo "Directory already there!!!<br>";
     chdir($dir);
   }
   else
   {
       echo "Directory not exists!!!!<br>";
    mkdir($dir);
    chdir($dir);
   }
}
function echo_win_drives() 
{

  for($c='A'; $c<='Z'; $c++) 
    if(is_dir($c . ':'))
      echo $c . ': '; 
}

?>
<html>
<head>
<title>
Check for files
</title>
</head>
<body>
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" method="POST"> 
<table width="500" border="0" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="4" align="center">

<tr>
    <td>Folder Name:</td>
    <td><input name="filegive" type="text" id="filegive" size="50" value=""/></td> </tr> <tr>
    <td><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="ccc" accesskey="ENTER" tabindex="2" /></td>
  </tr>
  </table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['Submit']))
{
    

echo "hai";
$give=$_POST['filegive'];
$path="D:\\share\\";
$path .= "$give\\";
if(!chdir($path))
{
    _directory_exists($path);
}
$date_today=date("d-m-Y");
$path .="$date_today\\";
if(!chdir($path))
{
    _directory_exists($path);
}
//echo getcwd() . "\n";

//echo_win_drives();
echo getcwd() . "\n";
}
?>

 

now this code is working the way i wanted..

change directory is for checking whether that directory exists or not, if not exists create that directory..
