creating a new folder with php

[FUNKAM35]

Hi, I would like to upload photos to my database but need each set of folders to be in their own folder which will be the $reference

I can upload the photos ok but dont know how I can make it create a folder named $reference

Many Thanks

Do you mean create a folder using the value stored in the $reference variable. If that is the case, you'd just pass that variable to mkdir

mkdir($reference);

If you want to create folder in a specific place, then you'll need to prepend the parent path

mkdir('path/to/patent/folder/'.$reference);

// this is the path to where your folders are located

$basePath = 'path/to/where/folders/go/'; 

// the folder name you are saving/retrieving in your database. 

$reference = 'somefolder';


//this is the full path/to/folder

$folder = $basePath.$reference;


// if the folder doesn't already exist...

if (!file_exists($folder)) {

    // create the folder

    mkdir($folder);

}
