[jesushax]

hi i have a add company form

 

what i want to do is

 

take the below

 

$strCompanyName = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST["txtCompanyName"]);

 

remove any spaces in the company name

 

then create a sub-folder with the new company name in the below

can anyone show or point me in the right direction for these please?

 

Thanks

fopen(), and fclose()

 

mkdir("./filename"); 

 

etc..

 

Google search a little bit, I'd do more to push you in the right direction, but unfortunately I've gotta get going right now.

<?php include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/includes/footer.php'); ?>

 

no error messages either

[jesushax]

can no one help?

 

its this line thats the problem

 

mkdir("/clients/".$strFolderPath."");

 

it doesnt work, is the context correct?

[kenrbnsn]

Put the echo the string to see if it is formated correctly. Why are you adding a null string on the end?

 

<?php
echo "/clients/".$strFolderPath;
mkdir ("/clients/".$strFolderPath);
?>

i got

 

/clients/testterage

Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: No such file or directory in /home/fhlinux153/c/cwservicesltd.co.uk/user/htdocs/admin/add_user.php on line 36s

[conker87]

Should you be adding a trailing slash?

[jesushax]

been reading this

 

http://www.w3schools.com/php/func_filesystem_mkdir.asp

 

doesnt say how to create a subfolder dammit

 

no trailing slashes on that either so cant tell :S

[skidz]

make sure your parent directory has 777 chmod and try setting some prams to mkdir("dir","755") for instance
