Help with mkdir

[Perad]

Could someone help me get my head around the mkdir() function.

 

I have the following.

 

$root = getcwd().'/cities/'

 

This is where I want to make the folder.

 

I want to make a folder containing the variable $name.

 

So the folder path will be

 

$root = getcwd().'/cities/'.$name;

 

How do I set this with getcwd. Do I just specify the complete path and it will automatically generate the new folder.. i.e.

 

mkdir($root, 0777);

 

Or is there something more to it?

 

 

 

My second question. How can I change folder name with out edited the contents of the folder. Is there another function for this?

Why not try it? If you need to create a dir more than one dir deep (ie you have an empty /foo and want to create /foo/bar/bob) you'll need to look at the third argument, recursive.

Yes, rename().
