Check if folder exists, if not, create it

[TheBrandon]

Hello all,

 

I am working on an upload script for a client. The script generates a random 32 bit string (to use as an ID). I want it to check if that folder exists and, if not, create it and put the files in it.

 

Here is the script I have so far:

<?php
/*******************************************
/*		contact_us_process.php
/*		Author: Brandon Pence ([email protected])
/*				 
/*		Desc:	This page process and checks the submitted form.
/*		
/*				variable		meaning
/*				--------		-------
/*				$FieldCheck		Instance of the FieldCheck class.
/*
/******************************************/

session_start();

require ("./inc/include.inc.php");

//include Field Check Class
include("classes/FieldCheck.php");

$FieldCheck = new FieldCheck;

if(file_exists("uploads/$id")){
echo 'Folder Exists!';
}else{
echo 'Folder does not exist. Create folder.';
}

//mkdir("uploads/$id",0777,true);

$target_path = "uploads/$id/";

$i = 0;

while($i < 3){

$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'][$i]); 

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'][$i], $target_path)) {
    echo "The file ".  basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'][$i]). 
    " has been uploaded";
} else{
    echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}

$i++;

}


if (!$FieldCheck->checkName($your_name)){ $errors['your_name'] = "Your name is not valid.";}
if (!$FieldCheck->isEmpty($your_date)){ $errors['your_date'] = "Your date is not valid.";}
if (!$FieldCheck->isEmpty($your_message)){ $errors['your_message'] = "Your message is not valid.";}

foreach($_POST as $key=>$value){

$fields[$key] = $value;

}

//print_r($_POST);

//check for error messages
if (isset($errors)) {
$_SESSION['errors'] = $errors;
$_SESSION['fields'] = $fields;
$_SESSION['error_msg'] = "Errors found!  Please review your entries.";
$url = "./testimonials.php?action=errors";
header ("Location: $url");
exit;
}else{

	// multiple recipients
	$to  = '[email protected]'; // note the comma

	// subject
	$subject = '[Domain Name.com] Testimonials Form Submission';

	// message
	$message = '
Name: '.$your_name.'
Date: '.$your_date.'
Message: '.$your_message.'
';

	// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
	$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
	$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

	// Additional headers
	$headers .= 'To: Example <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
	$headers .= 'From: Example <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
	$headers .= 'X-MAILER: PHP'.phpversion();
	$headers .= 'Reply-To:[email protected]';


	// Mail it
	$mail = mail($to, $subject, $message);

	//mail("$to", "$subject", "this is a test message, if you are reading this the email was sent successfully."); 

	//savvy
	$_SESSION['error_msg'] = "Your email has been sent. Thank you for contacting us.";

	header( "Location: testimonials.php?action=success" );

}
?>

 

It always outputs folder exists, even though it doesn't. My form is this:

function random_string($p_length) {
$char_list = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
$char_list .= "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
$char_list .= "1234567890";

$random = "";
srand((double) microtime() * 1000000);
for($i = 0; $i < $p_length; $i++) {
$random .= substr($char_list, (rand() % (strlen($char_list))), 1);
}
return $random;
}

        <form method="POST" action="contact_us_process.php" class="cmxform" enctype="multipart/form-data"> 
			<?php
			if ($_GET['action'] == 'success' && isset($_SESSION['error_msg'])){

									echo '<div class="success">'.$_SESSION['error_msg'].'</div>';
														unset($_SESSION['error_msg']);

			}else{
			if(isset($_SESSION['error_msg'])){
				echo '<div class="error">'.$_SESSION['error_msg'].'</div>';
				unset($_SESSION['error_msg']);
			}
			}
			?>

				<fieldset style="margin:20px;width:350px;height:450px;background-color:none;">

<?php 
$random_string = random_string(32); //This will return a random 10 character string?>

	</form>

 

Can anyone help me with the "if it exists, move on, if it doesnt, create folder" part?

I don't see where $id is defined in that first script, so as long as the uploads/ directory exists, it will return true. You need to assign the value from the $_POST array to the $id variable, unless register_globals = On (which it really shouldn't).

Gotta love it and hate it at the same time when it's something so simple...

 

Thanks!
