creat directory

[Gruzin]

hi guys,
I need to creat a directory, I've started from php.net:

[code]<?php
$dir = $_POST['dir']; // directory name from form
mkdir("test/", $dir);
?> [/code]

Hope someone will help, thanks in advance,
George

Try this:

[code]<?php
$dir = $_POST['dir']; // directory name from form
mkdir("test/$dir");
?> [/code]

Your code passes the path as the first argument and the directory as the second argument.  They should both be the same (argument one).

Regards
Huggie

Now just create a html form with a textfield called dir and submit the form to itself:
[code]<?php
if(isset($_POST['action']) && $_POST['action'] == "Create Directory")
{
    $dir = $_POST['dir']; // directory name from form
    mkdir("test/", $dir);
}
?>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">
  New Directory Name: <input type="text" name="dir"><br />
  <input type="submit" name="action" value="Create Directory">
</form>[/code]

[printf]

mkdir ( path, mode -> user right, permissions );

[code]<?php

$base = 'test/';

$dir = $_POST['dir']; // make sure you validate this

mkdir ( $base . $dir, 0777 );

?>[/code]


me!

Here what I get:
[color=red]Warning: mkdir() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in /users/3d_cn~1/html/gg/index.php on line 5[/color]

Did you read my post about the arguments?  Try this:

[code]<?php
if(isset($_POST['action']) && $_POST['action'] == "Create Directory")
{
    $dir = $_POST['dir']; // directory name from form
    mkdir("test/$dir");
}
?>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">
  New Directory Name: <input type="text" name="dir"><br />
  <input type="submit" name="action" value="Create Directory">
</form>[/code]

This:
[code=php:0]mkdir("test/", $dir);[/code]

Is supposed to be:
[code=php:0]mkdir("test/". $dir);[/code]

And again:
[color=red]Warning: mkdir(test/new_dir): No such file or directory in /users/3d_cn~1/html/test/index.php on line 5[/color]

yes Huggie, I've tryed your code to but the result is the same... Don't know what to do, thanks anyway guys!

God! I hate this server, php is running in safe mode :(

[color=red]Warning: mkdir(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid/gid is 5658/80 is not allowed to access / owned by uid/gid 0/0 in /users/3d_cn~1/html/test/index.php on line 5[/color]

Can I do something except changing this stupid server?

Sorry if I'm off the mark.  The second variable is the permissions, I believe.

Here's some code I use in case it helps ...

$file_loc = $server_dir . 'log' . $svr_dir_delimit . 'knightchat' . $svr_dir_delimit . 'chat.log';
$dir_loc = $server_dir . 'log' . $svr_dir_delimit . 'knightchat';
if (!is_dir($dir_loc))
{ mkdir($dir_loc, 0700); }

I did have issues with writing directories that the script didn't have permissions to create.  It is a matter of working out what credentials the PHP script is running with.  I did this by setting a directory to 777, running the script to create the directory, then I could see what user name and group it created the directory with, by using the ls -la.  Then I tightened the security on the parent directory again.

Re: the safe mode, I think there is no way other than to switch the php.ini file to not operate in safe mode.  I don't think it can be done by a session variable, but I'm no expert.
