making a file

[makka]

hay i need to make a file and call it a variable (the users name) it is a registration script and they get a file each eg

 

i make an account and i call my name makka then the script will make a new file called makka in side of a file called userfiles

 

any help?

how are you storing the user names, cause i think you could do somthing along this line.

 

<?php

$doc = fopen ($user.".doc", "w");

fwrite ($doc,'first line');
fwrite ($doc,'second line');

//so on and so forth

fclose ($doc);

?>

 

that is untested and i am very tired so dont take it as perfect.

no i would like a normal file so after it has made it it will then be www.domain.com/userfiles/makka/whatever

[Daleeburg]

oh sorry. so you want it to make a user directory.

 

i think this may help

http://us.php.net/function.mkdir

post your code you used for mkdir()

[makka]

mkdir('/fuckup/');

 

mkdir('/fuckup');

 

mkdir(/fuckup)

 

and i had those numbers on the end sorry for the file name first thing that came to my head

[lewis987]

ok, so u want to make a folder called "fuckup"?

 

mkdir("/fuckup",0755);

 

that whould work, if its a windows machine your running it will be:

 

mkdir("\fuckup",0755)
