Re: [PHP] MkDir Help
If you are prior PHP5 write your own recursive mkdir function [1] as posted on this list a while ago. [1] http://marc.info/?l=php-generalm=121926660406116w=2 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] MkDir Help
Hi All, I want to make a directory on my web server programatically when my code to create a new user runs. I am running PHP 5.2.5 on Linux. I am running: $dirToCreate = ...$_SESSION['s_USER_URL']; mkdir($dirToCreate, 0777, TRUE); // create the directory for the user $dirToCreate is: ../people/jason as an example When I create this I am in wwwroot/admin and I want to create wwwroot/people/jason wwwroot/people already exists. I get an error: Warning: mkdir() expects at most 2 parameters, 3 given in /home/net1003/public_html/admin/_createPage.inc on line 5 Even without TRUE this operation does not work. Does anyone have any thoughts? -Jason -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Does anyone have any thoughts? Permissions. Does the web user have write access to wwwroot? Without it that function call will fail. Also I don't think you're really running 5.2.5 since the recursive (3rd) parameter was added in 5.0. AFAIK the only way it would think mkdir takes no more than 2 parameters is if you're using an older version. -Stut -- http://stut.net/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Also, as 0777 is the default mode, you can omit this from your code to leave only one argument. You didn't say the exact error you're getting when you omit the third argument. My guess is it's a permission denied error, which is the most common pitfall for file functions. Does Apache have access to your wwwroot directory? Either make Apache the owner of the directory, add the Apache group (the name varies from OS to OS, usually wwwrun, or www) to the directory and allow group write permissions. You could chmod 777 the directory, but this isn't very safe at all, and I doubt you'll find anyone on this list who'd recommend it! Hope this helps.
