how to create directory+subdirectory

[tomek]

hi
i'm desperate... i'm trying this for 2 days now... so if anyone can help -
please.

i have upload form in which users can choose TYPE of file they are uploading
(graphic/text/music) - and STATUS of that file (draft/finished). So, my
upload script is getting:
- $_FILE field,
- TYPE of file (it is string representing "DIRECTORY" )
- STATUS of file (it is string representing "SUBDIRECTO RY")

i cannot find working function or script to upload file to
"DIRECTORY/SUBDIRECTORY/" if that 2 dirs doesn' exist.

how can i create 2 dirs ? i tried recursively...
=============== =============== =============== ====

function mkdirs($dir, $mode = 0777, $recursive = true) {
if( is_null($dir) || $dir === "" ){
return FALSE;
}
if( is_dir($dir) || $dir === "/" ){
return TRUE;
}
if( mkdirs(dirname( $dir), $mode, $recursive) ){
return mkdir($dir,0777 ); // the default chmod
}
return FALSE;
}
=============== =============== =============== =====

but it only creates first one, but not other (subdirectory) - like created
dir doesn't have permissions ??

anyone?

i just contacted my provider and he says that they cannot change "safe_mode"
tag.
he mention something about "create directories with my UID" ? can anyone
tell me more details on that? (UID)

thanks.

is there another way? maybe ftp?

user id? it sould like he's referring to an ftp client thing
look. you have a function that creates one directory successfully.
sometimes you can create a whole path at once. it is possible you have to
create them nested one by one. so maybe you have to explode() the dir
string and walk through them one by one & chdir+mkdir. you could do it
recursively, or iteratively.
it's just another method.
you might also consider that you might need to chdir somewhere first before
you start your first mkdir, or at least prepend an absolute path like (what
was it?) $_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT]. Otherwise, who knows where your created
directory will end up. and because of that, it might fail if it's in a
restricted area.
