mkdir() help

[brad12345]

Hi all

How can i create a new directory using mkdir() to upload my images and text to i can upload it to the current directory the page is in but cant seem to figure out how to make a new folder and put them into it using the mkdir() i tryed

 

mkdir("/newfolder/");

 

but got access permissions error.

 

is this how to create a new folder? or am i doing something wrong.

 

any help much appreciated.

That's how you'd do it. You need write permissions in the folder which you are creating the new folder in. In the code you posted you'll create the folder at the root of the HD. You'll most likely not have write permissions there.

i c

 

So i created a folder called properties and set CHOMD to 777 and changed the mkdir() to

 

mkdir("/httpdocs/properties/$property_location");

 

still doesn't work? comes back with insufficient permissions again?

Are you sure that's the full path to where your files are? Try to do echo getcwd(); to see where your script is located.

yup im sure, still didnt work even wen i tryed echo getcwd(); as the directory name.

 

This is a note but im using a variable the user inputs in as the name of the folder being created called $property_location should this effect it at all?
