creating folders

[pouncer]

im in member.php which is inside a folder called 'member'

 

i have a folder called 'collection' which is outside this member directory.

 

i want to create a folder inside the 'collection' folder based on the username, e.g,

 

$_SESSION['Username'] . "_images";

 

so that will be like: john_images folder. i want to actually check if the folder 'john_images' doesn't already exist though.

 

can soemone please show me how it can be done?

mkdir and is_dir should help you out.

To use the functions given by thorpe, this code should do the trick:

$name = "{$_SESSION['Username']}_images";
if(is_dir($name))
{
mkdir($name);
}

if(is_dir(../collection/$name))

[trq]

if (!is_dir('../collection/'.$name))
