mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error());

   

$fname = $_POST['fname'];

$lname = $_POST['lname'];

$city = $_POST['city'];

$username = $_POST['username'];

$password = md5($_POST['password']);

$email = $_POST['email'];

$newsletter = $_POST['newsletter'];

$pubdir = $_POST['pubdir'];

// lets check to see if the username already exists

 

$checkuser = mysql_query("SELECT username FROM users WHERE username='$username'");

$username_exist = mysql_num_rows($checkuser);

if($username_exist > 0){

    echo "I'm sorry but the username you specified has already been taken.  Please pick another one.";

    unset($username);

    include 'register.html';

    exit();

}

// lf no errors present with the username

// use a query to insert the data into the database.

 

$query = "INSERT INTO users (fname, lname, city, username, password, email, newsletter, pubdir)

VALUES('$fname', '$lname', '$city', '$username', '$password', '$email', '$newsletter', '$pubdir')";

mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

mysql_close();

//this will create a folder for the customer.

 

//$query1= "Select UID Where username = $username "

//$id =

 

//$id = mysql_insert_id();  // this will get the id that you inserted to your table.

//mkdir("members/$id", 0755);

 

$id = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM users WHERE username='$username'");  // this will get the id that you inserted to your table.

mkdir("$id");

echo "You have successfully Registered";

   

// mail user their information

 

$yoursite = "www.xxx.com";

First create the members folder and then give it write permissions (0755 or 0777). Then in your PHP script you'd use

mkdir('members/001');

to create the 001 folder within the members folder.

[renfley]

thats would work bu i wanna pass a $var in the mkdir to create a folder based on the id of the user? if that makes sense

[wildteen88]

Then replace 001 with your actual variable and replace the single quotes with double quotes

mkdir("members/$yourr_var");

[renfley]

Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: File exists in C:\wamp\www\renfley\config\register.php on line 47

You have successfully Registered

The members dir is already created i only need to create a folder based on my variable,

 

$id = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM users WHERE username='$username'");  // this will get the id that you inserted to your table.

mkdir("members/$id");

echo "You have successfully Registered";

[wildteen88]

try

mkdir("members/$yourr_var", 0755, true);

[renfley]

Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: File exists in C:\wamp\www\renfley\config\register.php on line 47

Still getting error

Safe mode is off ive already ruled that one out but this one is very strange my query is fine i just think there some issue with passing a $ in the mkdir?

[wildteen88]

mkdir is failing because the folder(s) already exists.

 

Change mkdir("members/$id", 0755, true); to

if(!is_dir("members/$id"))
{
     mkdir("members/$id", 0755, true);
}
else
{
     echo "the folder members/$id already exits!";
}

Hi

 

Before running your script please check the permissions of folder "members"

 

members FOLDER has write permissions for your webserver like apache.

 

so provide write permissions i.e 777 to members and try it will works fine.
