NoDoze Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I am using a 2 page php form to create a folder name. The first page of the php form askes for the needed info by field: user, name, value. The second page of the php form compiles this info into a folder name so that: user, name, value will be the name of the folder. Then when submited, this form will create the needed folder on the server. I am using this: <?php mkdir("/path/to/my/dir", 0777); ?> However, the webserver with the php form is different than where the folder needs to be created. How would I adjust the path to create the folder on a different server? Is this possible? Thanks!

Asperon Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 you would need the absolute path that goes through to the other server, if its on a local machine then you can go to that folder, and go to properties and get the path there Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/64749-mkdir-fairly-simple-question-hopefully/#findComment-322924 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoDoze Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 These are linux servers....in a local network, an intranet site, so security isn't an issue. But I'm guessing if I made the path like this: \\192.168.1.152\foldername\folder\ It would work? Would it need FTP access? Or something like that? I've never seen or heard of an php script being able to create a folder on a different server. Please clarify... Thanks!

Asperon Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I"m not quite familiar with Linux nor do I fully know php's capability with servers. But it would seem to me that in a local network, you would have access to directories on other parts of the network, so ip or a path such as "\\Server\my documents" in the case of windows. though php may only be limited to the local server on that particular machine.
