Help Writing to a file!

[Deanznet]

I need help! I cant get this to write the correct way!

 

What i need is based on the value of what is posted to the script it has to write it in the config file and also make a folder!

 

Please help

 

 

<?php
$start = '$uploadpath=\'';
$structure = '../banner/images/'.$_POST['FOLDER'].'\';\n';

$myFile = "PHP/confup.php";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");
$stringData = "<?\n";
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
$stringData = "$start $structure";
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
$stringData = "?>\n";
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
fclose($fh);

// Desired folder structure


// To create the nested structure, the $recursive parameter 
// to mkdir() must be specified.

if (!mkdir($structure, 0777, true)) {
    die('Failed to create folders...');
}

// ...
?>

There's a little problem right here:

$structure = '../banner/images/'.$_POST['FOLDER'].'\';\n';

Strings in single quotes won't evaluate special characters like \n or \r, etc. So it's literally inserting

../banner/images/';\n

into the php file.

Also, you're putting the same variable into mkdir(), which won't work.. unless you want a folder named exactly what I said above.

I tried it.. Im having the hardest time doing this

 

What i need the script basicly to do is.

 

Make a folder in ../banner/images/FOLDERPOSTNAME

 

also it has to edit a php file and add

 

$uploadpath='../banner/images/FOLDERPOSTNAME ';

 

Whats the best way

This'll do what you were trying to do:

<?php

$structure = "../banner/images/".$_POST['FOLDER'];

$myFile = "PHP/confup.php";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");
fwrite($fh, "<?php \$uploadpath='$structure'; ?>");
fclose($fh);

// Desired folder structure


// To create the nested structure, the $recursive parameter 
// to mkdir() must be specified.

if (!mkdir($structure, 0775, true)) {
    die('Failed to create folders...');
}

// ...
?>
