PHP - Create A New Folder Every Day

Hello,

i am looking for a way to create a new folder when a customer uploads photos. I would like the folder to be named their email address.

The photo uploader code is below: -

[php
<?php
if($logged[scrollingpicturedisplay] == "yes"){
if($difference == "Gone"){
}else{
if($logged[spd_process] == "1"){ }else{
?>
<div id="spd">
<link href="/uploadify.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/jquery.uploadify.v2.1.4.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('#custom_file_upload').uploadify({
  'uploader'       : '/uploadify.swf',
  'script'         : 'uploadify.php?user=<?php echo("$logged[ip]");?>',
  'cancelImg'      : '/cancel.png',
  'folder'         : '/wuploads',
  'multi'          : true,
  'auto'           : true,
  'fileExt'        : '*.ZIP;*.zip;*.rar;*.jpg',
  'queueID'        : 'custom-queue',
  'queueSizeLimit' : 1000,
  'simUploadLimit' : 1000,
  'removeCompleted': true,
  'onSelectOnce'   : function(event,data) {
      $('#status-message').text(data.filesSelected + ' files have been added to the queue.');
    },
  'onAllComplete'  : function(event,data) {
      $('#status-message').text(data.filesUploaded + ' files uploaded, ' + data.errors + ' errors.');
php/]

and i think this is the code for the create new folder

[php
<?
mkdir("/wuploads/{$slide['email']}");
?>
php/]

The email is stored on the users database as the field 'email'

i then would like it to put the photos in the created folder which i think is something like this

[php
'folder'         : '/wuploads/$slide['email']',
php/]

The pictures go into the correct folder if i use this, however the create folder part of it doesnt seem to work.

any help would be great, thanks

Hello all,

I am working on an upload script for a client. The script generates a random 32 bit string (to use as an ID). I want it to check if that folder exists and, if not, create it and put the files in it.

Here is the script I have so far:
<?php
/*******************************************
/* contact_us_process.php
/* Author: Brandon Pence (brandonpence@gmail.com)
/*  
/* Desc: This page process and checks the submitted form.
/*
/* variable meaning
/* -------- -------
/* $FieldCheck Instance of the FieldCheck class.
/*
/******************************************/

session_start();

require ("./inc/include.inc.php");

//include Field Check Class
include("classes/FieldCheck.php");

$FieldCheck = new FieldCheck;

if(file_exists("uploads/$id")){
echo 'Folder Exists!';
}else{
echo 'Folder does not exist. Create folder.';
}

//mkdir("uploads/$id",0777,true);

$target_path = "uploads/$id/";

$i = 0;

while($i < 3){

$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'][$i]); 

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'][$i], $target_path)) {
    echo "The file ".  basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'][$i]). 
    " has been uploaded";
} else{
    echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}

$i++;

}


if (!$FieldCheck->checkName($your_name)){ $errors['your_name'] = "Your name is not valid.";}
if (!$FieldCheck->isEmpty($your_date)){ $errors['your_date'] = "Your date is not valid.";}
if (!$FieldCheck->isEmpty($your_message)){ $errors['your_message'] = "Your message is not valid.";}

foreach($_POST as $key=>$value){

$fields[$key] = $value;

}

//print_r($_POST);

//check for error messages
if (isset($errors)) {
$_SESSION['errors'] = $errors;
$_SESSION['fields'] = $fields;
$_SESSION['error_msg'] = "Errors found!  Please review your entries.";
$url = "./testimonials.php?action=errors";
header ("Location: $url");
exit;
}else{

// multiple recipients
$to  = 'email@email.com'; // note the comma

// subject
$subject = '[Domain Name.com] Testimonials Form Submission';

// message
$message = '
Name: '.$your_name.'
Date: '.$your_date.'
Message: '.$your_message.'
';

// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

// Additional headers
$headers .= 'To: Example <email@example.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Example <email@example.com.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'X-MAILER: PHP'.phpversion();
$headers .= 'Reply-To:email@example.com';


// Mail it
$mail = mail($to, $subject, $message);

//mail("$to", "$subject", "this is a test message, if you are reading this the email was sent successfully."); 

//savvy
$_SESSION['error_msg'] = "Your email has been sent. Thank you for contacting us.";

header( "Location: testimonials.php?action=success" );

}
?>

It always outputs folder exists, even though it doesn't. My form is this:

function random_string($p_length) {
$char_list = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
$char_list .= "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
$char_list .= "1234567890";

$random = "";
srand((double) microtime() * 1000000);
for($i = 0; $i < $p_length; $i++) {
$random .= substr($char_list, (rand() % (strlen($char_list))), 1);
}
return $random;
}

        <form method="POST" action="contact_us_process.php" class="cmxform" enctype="multipart/form-data"> 
<?php
if ($_GET['action'] == 'success' && isset($_SESSION['error_msg'])){

echo '<div class="success">'.$_SESSION['error_msg'].'</div>';
unset($_SESSION['error_msg']);

}else{
if(isset($_SESSION['error_msg'])){
echo '<div class="error">'.$_SESSION['error_msg'].'</div>';
unset($_SESSION['error_msg']);
}
}
?>

Can anyone help me with the "if it exists, move on, if it doesnt, create folder" part?

I am working PHP project on localhost using wamp, for debug process we using error_log() function, every time error_log() stored details of the error in wamp/logs, how can I view my error in the same project folder like wamp/www/goodgoal/

eg: wamp/www/goodgoal/logs/error_log.log

Note : Pls recommend PHP Quick Debug Tricks

I am unsuccessfully able to do the following:   User creates an account   After login, checks server if user has their own folder created   If doesn't exist, create it   Copy files from source_code to this new folder   My code does create a folder, but no files appear inside it. Been trying to find an example with google search for the past 3 days with no luck.   I am running LAMP on Linux Mint OS to run my PHP webpages.   Can anyone tell me if issues with this section of coding?

<?php
 
function wait_time($seconds)

{

    $seconds = abs($seconds);

    if ($seconds < 1):

       usleep($seconds*1000000);

    else:

       sleep($seconds);

    endif;   

}
 
$file1 = "blank.html";

$file2 = "channel_video.php";

$file3 = "clear_playlist.php";

$file4 = "confirm.html";

$file5 = "index.html";
set_time_limit(0); //prevent script from timing out
 
$account = $_POST["account_name"];
$src = "source_code/";
$dst = $account."/";
 
echo 'Setting up your account page ->.';
mkdir($account, 0777, true); echo '.'; //create folder with full write permissions
wait_time(2000); //wait 2 seconds before copying files over
copy($src.$file1, $dst.$file1); echo '.';
wait_time(2000); //wait 2 seconds before copying files over
copy($src.$file2, $dst.$file2); echo '.';
wait_time(2000); //wait 2 seconds before copying files over
copy($src.$file3, $dst.$file3); echo '.';
wait_time(2000); //wait 2 seconds before copying files over
copy($src.$file4, $dst.$file4); echo '.';
wait_time(2000); //wait 2 seconds before copying files over
copy($src.$file5, $dst.$file5); echo '.<- setup finished<br>';
 
?>

Thanks for any input you can provide.
