HELP CREATING DIRECTORY!

[daxguy]

I am trying to create random no. of directories but its always giving this error

 

Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: Invalid argument in C:\xampp\htdocs\gl\movie_process.php on line 173

 

the code is

for(i=0; i<5; i++)
{
mkdir("".$base."uploads/movies/$year/$month/$title/".$hosting[$i]."");
}

Do you need a trailing slash after $base?  (e.g. $base."/uploads..."etc)

 

echo ($base."uploads/movies/$year/$month/$title/".$hosting[$i]);

 

to check that the output is a valid URL.  (you do not need the empy "" before and after your URL.)

You're passing mkdir an invalid path. To see what the path is change your code to

 

$base_folder = "{$base}uploads/movies/{$year}/{$month}/{$title}/"
for$(i = 0; $i < 5; $i++)
{
    if(is_dir($base_folder)
    {
         $path = "$base_folder/{$hosting[$i]}";
          mkdir($path);
    }
    else
    {
        echo "{$base_folder} is not a directory";
    }
}

I tried both the solutions..

even tried

 

$base_folder = "{$base}uploads/movies/{$year}/{$month}/{$title}/"
for$(i = 0; $i < 5; $i++)
{
    if(is_dir($base_folder)
    {
         $path = "$base_folder/{$hosting[$i]}";
          mkdir($path);
    }
    else
    {
        echo "{$base_folder} is not a directory";
    }
}

 

its giving the same error.. dunno wats up with this!! please help

For got echo $path in the loop

         $path = "$base_folder/{$hosting[$i]}";
         echo "Crteating the following path: {$path}";
          mkdir($path);

Post the output here
