markspec87 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I have a small file upload script where users can upload files for their articles. However it doesnt work unless i manually create the numbered directories. i.e files/uploads/1files/uploads/2(each article has a unique ID)so i was wonder if there was a way at the start of my script to check if the directory exists, and if it doesnt create it using the name from my variable $id variable.thanks guys.

ToonMariner Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 you will need is_dir() and mkdir() Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/28581-check-a-directory-exists/#findComment-130777 Share on other sites More sharing options...
