mkdir?

[wmguk]

$login = $_GET['login'];
$filelocation = "/var/www/vhosts/mmmmmm.co.uk/httpdocs/clients";
$mkdir = "$filelocation/$login";
mkdir("$mkdir");
chmod("$mkdir", 0777);

 

I'm trying to get it to make http://www.mmmmmm.co.uk/clients/123

 

so i use createfile.php?login=123 but it just will not work.

 

any thoughts?

I would test to see if mkdir is creating the folder. As mkdir will return a result you can do this,

 

<?php

$success = mkdir($mkdir);

if ($success===true) {
echo "Directory succeeded";
} else{ 
echo "Directory failed";
}
?>

 

By the way you do not need to surround the variable $mkdir in quotes.

I get directory failed...

 

 

any ideas?

[ansarka]

you may not have permission to create the folders

 

chk the permission of folder httpdocs and clients

 

[wmguk]

the folder clients is 777

 

this is an edited tidy version of my script

 

//connection.php

//FTP ACCESS SETTINGS - createadmin/uploadim.php
$filelocation = "/var/www/vhosts/mmmmmm.co.uk/httpdocs/clients/$login";
$ftpuser = "ftpuserxxx";
$ftppass = "xxx";
$ftplocation = "ftp.mmmmmm.co.uk/httpdocs/clients";
$ftpacc = "ftp://$ftpuser:$ftppass@$ftplocation/$login" ;

 

$login = $_GET['login'];
include "../scripts/connection.php";
mkdir($filelocation, 0777);

[wmguk]

also i echo the different variables and they are displaying correctly, so any ideas?

[wmguk]

this has got me totally stumped

[Cep]

if mkdir() is returning failed its most likely because you do not have permission to create folders. What is the permission level of the parent or root directory? Does it allow anonymous creations of directories (I doubt it).

[wmguk]

if i use this script

 

$thisdir = getcwd();

if(mkdir($thisdir ."/$login" , 0755))
{
   echo "Directory has been created successfully... $thisdir ";
}
else
{
   echo "Failed to create directory... $thisdir";
} 

 

it works, the only issue is that it making the folder in the wrong directory, it needs to be in clients, so i edit the script

 

$thisdir = "/var/www/vhosts/mmmmmm.co.uk/httpdocs/clients";

if(mkdir($thisdir ."/$login" , 0755))
{
   echo "Directory has been created successfully... $thisdir ";
}
else
{
   echo "Failed to create directory... $thisdir";
} 

 

and it fails. the location of the script is https://www.mmmmmm.co.uk/createadmin/ and it needs to create a folder at http://www.mmmmmm.co.uk/clients/

 

I have set the whole root folder as 777 and the clients folder is 777 too.

 

would this have anything to do with the script being on an SSL server and trying to create a folder somewhere else?

 

(obviously mmmmmm.co.uk is not the real domain)

You should never have to chmod your webroot at 777, unless you are modifying files in it.

[wmguk]

yeah, ive put it back now, i just wanted to rule it out

[discomatt]

not that its a big security risk or anything (assuming your usr folder isn't 777). It's just good practice to only chmod 777 the directories you need to.

 

As far as your problem goes, you may want to contact your host.

 

Try is one out

 

<?php

$dir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . 'phpfreaks_help/newfolder/';

if (is_dir($dir) )
  exit($dir .' is already made');

if (!chmod(pathinfo($dir, PATHINFO_DIRNAME), 0777) )
  echo '<b>Warning: </b> Could not CHMOD parent folder. If you are on a Windows server, please ignore<br>';
  
if (!mkdir($dir, 0777) )
  exit('Failed to make '. $dir .' at CHMOD 0777');

if (is_dir($dir) )
  exit($dir .' made successfully');

?>

[wmguk]

ah ha, okies managed to get it to work, however can i get it to check if the directory is already made and then not mkdir if it exists?

 

i tried

if (is_dir($thisdir ."/$login") )
  exit($thisdir ."/$login" .' is already made');

 

but it doesnt show the error message..

 

I'm thinking it has to be something like

 

<?php
$thisdir = getcwd();
$login = $_GET['login'];

if (is_dir($thisdir ."/$login") ) {
  exit($thisdir ."/$login" .' is already made');
}
else
{
if(mkdir($thisdir ."/$login" , 0755))
{
}
else
{
   echo "Failed to create directory... <br> <p class='footer'>Contact <a href='mailto:drew@wmguk.co.uk'>Drew</a></p>";
} }
?>

[discomatt]

Look at my code, there's a perfect example of just that.

[wmguk]

sorry, I used that but it didnt work, and then i refreshed it and it was working

 

I dunno if my new isp is caching pages

[discomatt]

Caching can happen anywhere between or on the server or client machine, so that is very possible. If your ISP is caching you should drop them.

Yeah currently with Orange UK, but im actually moving on 7th April and im going back to BT, as I never have any issues with them.

 

Its only since my change to orange that things are showing up wrong... but thanks for your help so far, its all sorted now
