Creating Directories...

Okay, I found out how to make a directory, but how do I make a directly inside one that already exists and isn't in the same directory as my script?? Also, how do I make new files inside the new directly?

Thanks!

Wouldn't you just do something like:
$newdir = "images";
$newestdir = "people";
mkdir("$dir",775);
mkdir("$dir/$newestdir",775);

And to make a file in the newest directory, just
open(IN,">/$newdir/$newestdir/file.txt");
close(IN);

Not quite. It was actually something like:

$dir = "members";
mkdir("$dir",0777);
mkdir("$dir/$FORM{'username'}",0777);

I needed a folder for each person that signed up and the directory permissions were wrong until I added the 0 in front. But now it works! Thanks for helping me figure it out!!

Ouch!!!!

Never use unchecked user input in a system call !!!

You've just build yourself a big (security-)hole. Just wait for someone to push you into it.

Where are you using this script ?!

How else would I go about making a directory for each member?

At least do a filter so they can't type in ../ and anything but letters, _ , and numbers.
