mkDir and a String =D

[icez]

Hey,

 

I'm currently making a little script which I often get a string like = "images/folder/something/maybeanotherone/file.ext"

 

so I'm interresting to know how could I create every directory in the correct order and the numbers of sub-directory isn't fix, so if anybody can give me an hint, I would appreciate =D

 

Btw, tell me if I'm you don't understand what I mean, English isn't my primary language.

Use explode to break it into it's parts, in an array. Use a foreach loop to iterate over the parts in the array.

Thank you, but how should I know which part of this is actually a directory and not the file at the end.

 

count-1 could work in the loop no?

Use count to get the number of elements. You can then get the file name from the last element and remove that element from the array before you iterate over the folder names.

<?php
$path = "images/folder/something/maybeanotherone/file.ext";

$parts = explode('/',$path);

$last = count($parts) - 1; // the index starts at zero

$filename = $parts[$last]; // you can also use end($parts);

unset($parts[$last]); // remove last element (filename)

foreach($parts as $part){
if(!is_dir($part)){
	mkdir($part);
	echo "Made: $part<br />";
}
chdir($part); // make current working directory be the current part of the path
}
?>

$path = "images/folder/something/maybeanotherone/file.ext";

$parts = explode('/',$path);

$last = count($parts) - 1; // the index starts at zero

$filename = $parts[$last]; // you can also use end($parts);

unset($parts[$last]); // remove last element (filename)

foreach($parts as $part){
if(!is_dir($part)){
	mkdir($part);
	echo "Made: $part<br />";
}
chdir($part); // make current working directory be the current part of the path
}
?>

 

It's not working, I tried a few things, and still not working, the problem is that the script doesn't create the sub-directory at the right place...

[icez]

	$parts = explode('/', $element->src);

	$last = count($parts) - 1;

	unset($parts[$last]);

	for($i = 0; $i < $last; $i++)
	{
		$download .= $parts[$i].'/';
		mkdir($download);
		echo 'Created:'.$download;
	}

 

it echo 'Created: (RIGHT PATH GO HERE)' and create every folder perfectly, but when I try to add something to the folder right after this loop, I get ...

Warning: file_put_contents(extract/1288399680/images/) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wamp\www\themeforest\index.php on line 26

If your using php5 just set the recursive argument to true. See mkdir.

I'm not sure if I understood, but I change mkdir to this : mkdir($download, 0777, true); and still not working

Post your code and tell us what error you are getting.
