PHP - Php Mkdir Subdirectories

Hi.

I'm trying to create a directory folder on my server.
I am using the following code, but keep getting an error?

The images folder is set to 0777 on the server, and the file is located
just outside the images folder.

Code: [Select]
$uID = $new_user->id;
mkdir('/images/'.$uID.'/main/thumb', 0777, true);
mkdir('/images/'.$uID.'/main/large', 0777, true);


Error:
Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: Permission denied in /home/p/o/powtest/web/public_html/test_users.php on line 19

Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: Permission denied in /home/p/o/powtest/web/public_html/test_users.php on line 20



Thanks for your help

Hi

I am running a linux web server and I am trying to use the mkdir function, for somereason I keep getting an error when I try run:

// $clanid is set above
mkdir('clans/' . $clanid . '/');

I receive the error:
Code: [Select]
Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: No such file or directory in /home/kdmrhos1/public_html/ClanFind/register.php on line 253

I am running php 5.3.2 on Win Server 2008 R2 (IIS 7).

When I execute the mkdir() function and pass it a string (i.e., the path) longer than 256 characters, it throws an error indicating "result too large". My question is whether this is because the mkdir() function cannot handle a string larger than 256 char or if it is a Windows issue on max characters allowed (path length).

Any feedback or recommendations will be appreciated.

Hi, I wonder whether someone may be able to help me please.

I'm fairly new to PHP so please bear with me.

I'm trying to put together a script which bascially creates a hierarchical tree of folders upon a new account being created by a user.

I would like to take the 'username' that the user registers with to use as the name for the first folder, then, create a folder at the second level called 'images' and then finally, a folder within that called 'thumbs'.

From the research that I've done, I believe that I need to use the 'mkdir' command, but I can't find a very straight forward tutorial.

I just wondered whether someone could perhaps please help me out with this, so that I at least have a good solid starting point.

Hey,

I'm currently making a little script which I often get a string like = "images/folder/something/maybeanotherone/file.ext"

so I'm interresting to know how could I create every directory in the correct order and the numbers of sub-directory isn't fix, so if anybody can give me an hint, I would appreciate =D

Btw, tell me if I'm you don't understand what I mean, English isn't my primary language.

I'm doing a flash app where i save webcam images to a folder on the server.
I'm able to make this work when running of xampp on my machine, I create the required folder structure and I'm able to read from that folder and display the images, however once i move the stuff onto a live server, it fails to create the folders and it seems to be a permission problem. Is it server specific?

i've tried chmod etc but I don't think i'm doing it right. any help, pointers for a non php developer would be most helpful.

here's my code snippet

<?php
//This project is done by vamapaull: http://blog.vamapaull.com/
//The php code is done with some help from Mihai Bojin: http://www.mihaibojin.com/

$uid = $_GET[uid];
$structure = './images/' .  date("Ymd") .'/' . $uid. '/';

// To create the nested structure, the $recursive parameter
// to mkdir() must be specified.


if(is_dir($structure))
{
echo "Exists!";
}
else
{
echo "Doesn't exist" ;

if (!mkdir($structure,'0777', true) ) {
    die('Failed to create folders...');
}
}


if(isset($GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"])){
   $jpg = $GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"];
   $img = $_GET["img"];
   $filename = 'images/' . date("Ymd"). "/" .$uid. "/img_". mktime(). ".jpg";
   file_put_contents($filename, $jpg);
} else{
   echo "Encoded JPEG information not received.";
}
?>

Hi, I want to create a folder for every auto incrementing row so I used this

$id=mysql_insert_id();

mkdir("../Setting/time/".$id);

I am getting an error Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\Setting\time\index.php

I have used the mkdir function in this similar method before there was no problem. For some reason it is not working now. If I just try it on a blank page example the following method seems to work could some one point to me what I might be doing wrong?


$tid=1;
mkdir("../Setting/time/".$tid);     

Okay I finally got some bugs worked out, but after further testing I found new bugs.

The variables $loggedinid and $pid are working. I am receiving the following error:

"An error occured:
Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: No such file or directory in D:\Hosting\5366560\html\file_upload\server\script.php on line 131"

Now when I go to line 131 in script.php
mkdir("../uploads/$loggedinid/$pid", 0777);

What should my next step be? I am not sure where to start.

I am trying to create a folder using amfphp using this method:

<?php
function createProject($dir)
{
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM projects WHERE proj_path = '$dir'");
$num = mysql_num_rows($query);
if ($num > 0)
{
return "folder already exists";
}
else
{
$root  = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
$theDir = $root . $this->dataFolder . "/" . $dir;
//return $theDir; -> "/home/content/c/s/8/cs8xo/html/xxxxxxx/project_data/testfolder2"
return mkdir($theDir,0755);
}
}
?>


I've commented out what $theDir returns when I pass it a $dir. $this->dataFolder == "/xxxxxxx/project_data"

When I return the mkdir(), I get this error:
Code: [Select]
(Object)#0
  message = "faultCode:AMFPHP_RUNTIME_ERROR faultString:'mkdir(): No such file or directory' faultDetail:'/home/content/c/s/8/cs8xo/html/xxxxxxx/amfphp/services/clientlogin2/Projects.php on line 147'"
  name = "Error"
  rootCause = (null)

Line 147 is referring to the mkdir() line.

Can anyone spot anything obvious that I could be missing?

Hi

I have a script

Code: [Select]
mkdir("myitems/images", 0777);

chmod("myitems/images", 0777);

if (!copy('downloads.zip', 'myitems/images/downloads.zip')) {
    echo "failed";
}
when I run it, the folder is created and when checking folder permissions, it shows 777

but it fails on copying the file.

if I manually create the folder "myitems/images/" and set it to 777, then when I run the script, the file is copied

for some reason when I manually create the folder it works, but when PHP creates the folder, it fails on something

any ideas? racking my brain trying to figure out why

Please help.  I am simply trying to create a directory if it doesn't already exist.  I am working from one site (www.mysite.com/folder1/folder2/folder3/here).  I want to have this PHP script make a directory on another one of my sites (www.mysite2.com/images)


$dirname = "../../mysite2.com/images"; <--this is the root directory (www.mysite2.com/images)

$filename = "/$sitest/$userid/"; <-- this is the folder we want to create if it doesn't already exist (www.mysite2.com/images/us/27)

$fulldirname = "$dirname$filename"; <--this should be the total path (mysite2.com/images/us/27)

     if (file_exists($fulldirname)) {
         echo "The directory {$fulldirname} exists";
     } else {
       mkdir($fulldirname, 0777);
         echo "The directory {$fulldirname} was successfully created.";
     }

Hope someone can help me!
I have an upload script that stores users files, it creates a dir using the users name which will store their uploads!
The problem is because I am on a shared host with safe mode ON i get an error when trying to upload to that directory via a form, the error says something like
SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 500 is not allowed to access /proc/uptime owned by uid 0 in ......

If I create a dir manually(FTP) it works fine! But I cannot obviously create a dir for each new user as the registration is automatic, so at the moment I have 1 common dir for all users to upload to, but this will eventually cause too much congestion and slow things down!

Any ideas! Thanks!!

Im in the process of setting up a social media site , Just switched from basic hosting to Dedicated Server
Everything was working till i switched .

I have a basic join forum and email activation , On the register.php file it tell script to make a directory mkdir into member/folder like this below, But it will  make the folder for the id of that user but will not let them upload any images?. At first it wouldnt even make a folder but i found out it was a permissions issue with my server i fixed it , im guessing the upload is also a permission's issue ? But the script automaticly make the members/"$id" folder and i dont know how to set permission for auto create folder that if i even have to ? so confused.

(BEGGGGINGG !! FORRRRR HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!
Im running a dedicated server with godaddy, On centOs w/ Plesk Panel 9.3.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$id = mysql_insert_id();

// Create directory(folder) to hold each user's files(pics, MP3s, etc.)
mkdir("members/$id", 0755);

Hi,

How do you create a folder in the main dir (public_html) when you are a few folders deep?

My code...

mkdir("../../../../../filestore/images/$page_id/", 0644);

I seem to get an error each time failing to create the folder. Is there away to go direct to the public html folder?

Thanks for any help.

Pretty simple I would think but I'm unsure on the syntax. I have a variable, $ename. It's actually data from a form that I pass to said variable. What I want is to then in turn use this string in a mkdir() function. Something like

Code: [Select]
mkdir("dir/folder/$ename/");
Obviously that doesn't work. I'd imagine I have to use some sort of . syntax.
