[SOLVED] Replace Cmd

[kyleldi]

After using the many resources found on this site, i've got my script figured out except for this one part.  I'm trying to use the replace cmd to remove the spaces in the information given, convert it to underscores (just to create the folder) and then strip the underscore returning it to spaces when it's done and ready to post to the sql db.  My code gives me an error when using the replace cmd at all, so i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong.  Anyone have any ideas?  I'm actually close to getting this together thanks to everyone here.

 

str_replace(" ","_","$name" $mkdir("files/$name", 0755);

$image_part = date("")."".$HTTP_POST_FILES['file01']['name'];
$image_list[14] = $image_part;
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['file01']['tmp_name'], "files/$name/".$image_part);
$image_part = date("")."".$HTTP_POST_FILES['file02']['name'];
$image_list[15] = $image_part;
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['file02']['tmp_name'], "files/$name/".$image_part);
$image_part = date("")."".$HTTP_POST_FILES['file03']['name'];
$image_list[16] = $image_part;
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['file03']['tmp_name'], "files/$name/".$image_part);
$where_form_is="http".($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTPS"]=="on"?"s":"")."://".$SERVER_NAME.strrev(strstr(strrev($PHP_SELF),"/"));

Try change this:

str_replace(" ","_","$name" $mkdir("files/$name", 0755);

to this:

str_replace(" ","_",$name);
mkdir("files/$name", 0755);

 

What is the error?

[kyleldi]

With error reporting on, it doesn't give me an error.  It does execute the script, but the space is still in the dir name. 

[haaglin]

Sorry.. forgot something in the last code.. try this:

$name = str_replace(" ","_",$name);
mkdir("files/$name", 0755);

works like a charm, is there any way I can convert it back to spaces once it's done creating the dir? It posts to a db and I was hoping to have it w/o the underscore in the end.  Thanks so much for your help!

[haaglin]

you can do it like this:

 

$dirname = str_replace(" ","_",$name);
mkdir("files/$dirname", 0755);

 

Then $name is not changed..

[kyleldi]

Everything works great, the only thing I have a problem with is that if the customer name (and its dir) already exists, it outputs an error instead of appending.. shouldn't it just append?

 

It did actually finish the script, though.  It just output an error.

[haaglin]

Yeah.. you need to check if the folder exists before creating it..

$dirname = "files/".str_replace(" ","_",$name);
if(!file_exists($dirname")) mkdir($dirname, 0755);

 

[kyleldi]

It reports an error,

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '"' in submitquote.php on line 51 <- the line of the if statement

 

your code looks correct, so i'm not sure what's mistaken

[haaglin]

Sorry.. forgot to remove a qoute..

this should work:

$dirname = "files/".str_replace(" ","_",$name);
if(!file_exists($dirname)) mkdir($dirname, 0755);

If you look carefully you will see an extra double quote in this line:

if(!file_exists($dirname")) mkdir($dirname, 0755);
