[SOLVED] create a folder and create a file in it in the same page.

[ted_chou12]

I seem to find trouble both creating the folder itself and a file to store in it in the same page. The folder can be created, but the file doesnt seem to be stored into the folder... and you need a new page,(second page) for it to store the file in the folder, what may be the problem?

Can you post your code.

When you go to create the folder. Keep the folder name in a variable. Then use that variable when creating the file. Example:
[code]<?php

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
    $folder = $_POST['newFolder'];

    if(!file_exists($folder))
    {
        if(!mkdir($folder))
        {
            echo "Unable to create a new folder '$folder'";
        }
    }


    $fileName = $_POST['newFileName'];
    $fileContents = $_POST['newFileContents'];

    $handle = fopen('./' . $folder . '/' . $fileName, 'wb');

    fwrite($handle, $fileContents, strlen($fileContents));

    fclose($handle);

    echo '<a href="./' . $folder . '/' . $fileName . '">' . $fileName . '</a> successfully crrated!';
}

?>
<h1>Create New File and Folder</h1>
<form action="" method="post">
  Folder Name: <input type="text" name="newFolder" /><br />
  File Name: <input type="text" name="newFileName" /><br />
  File contents: <textarea name="newFileContents"></textarea><br />
  <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Create!" />
</form>[/code]
Extremely basic. But it shows what I mean.
