Make Directory

[phpretard]

When I use this to make a directory it makes a directory, but...

 

When I try to open that directory I am promted that The Folder refers to a nonexistant file or folder Or it isn't valid or in the current web.

 

Is there something wrong with this code?

 

mkdir("/html/pages/folder1 ", 0700);

[MadTechie]

could be the space at the end

of isn't a valid path from the root

maybe try this

<?php
mkdir(dirname(__FILE__)."/html/pages/folder1", 0700);
?>

[BlueSkyIS]

those permissions are probably invalid for the current user, the script making the directory.

 

MadTechie also has a good point.

I am actually trying to take the last advise from BlueSkyIS.

 

I want to upload a pfd to a directory instead of storing it in the DB.

 

I would like to be able to create a new directory for that pdf during upload.

 

Any thoughts on that?

 

Here is the full code MadTechie...

 

It does visualy make the folder I just can't access it.

 

mkdir("/home/content/d/a/r/daruano/html/pages/folder1 ", 0700);

 

What should the permissions be. I am logged in as administrator with full rights.

[MadTechie]

i think you want "0744" for the access if you want everyone to read it!

 

"0755" for read and execute

[phpretard]

It still gives an error about not in the web...

 

How would you go about acomplishing what I am tryin to acomplish.

[BlueSkyIS]

yes, as i understand, permissions 0700 says "only root can read, write or execute". Since the web server doesn't (or shouldn't) run as root, that's like trying to create a directory that even you can't read.

 

you may need to go to 0775 or 0777 to allow the web server to write to the directory.

[phpretard]

Each one these numbers still produce the same error.

 

Currently, the page with this code (and this code only) is located @ www.mywebsite.com/thiscode.php

 

Is it relavant where (in the web directory) the code is executed from?

 

I believe I am just missing something simple.

 

mkdir("/home/content/d/a/r/daruano/html/pages/folder1 ", 0777);

[BlueSkyIS]

hm, probably shouldn't have that space at the end of the directory name string

 

mkdir("/home/content/d/a/r/daruano/html/pages/folder1", 0777);

 

[phpretard]

I took the space away and...same error.

 

This doesn't make any sense...

 

I can rename the folder and when I rename it I can then open it???

 

 

[phpretard]

Is there a code piece that can make a directry and then insert a blank file into that same directory?

[phpretard]

So here is what I did.

 

When the page opens it makes the directory.

 

When I submit the form it trys to make another directory and insert the pdf.

 

Notice the 2 errors fighting?

 

<?php

mkdir("/home/content/d/a/r/daruano/html/pages/test ",0777);


if (isset($_POST['submit'])){


$uploaddir = "../../pages/test";

if(is_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name']))
{
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'],$uploaddir.'/'.$_FILES['file']['name']);
}
print "done";

}
?>

<form action="test_form.php" method="post" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">

File: <input type="file" name="file" size="30"> <input type="submit" name=submit value="Upload!">

</form>
