Mkdir

[Anon]

I'm having a strange error with the Mkdir command which is showing
Warning: MkDir failed (No such file or directory) in (the filename)

I've played with the permissions and cannot seem to get it to work. Strange thing is that I don't have any problem writing to a file in the directory I wish to create another one in ( using the fopen command ), and I also can do the exec command or passthru command and issue the mkdir command at the prompt and it will work. Any ideas what could be wrong? Thanks,

hmm... I'll be as helpfull as possible.

mhdir's sytax is:

int mkdir(string pathname, int mode);

However, mode is ignored on windows based systems... but you'll still need to put a mode there to satisfy the function.

---

Valid unix modes are:

0 - no permissions
1 - execute
2 - write
3 - write and execute
4 - read
5 - read and execute
6 - read and write

7 - read, write, and execute

But you'll probably want to write it in octal format... ie 0777 for a public page. (kind of a security risk however, as it is read, write and execute to everyone).

Well... I hope I helped...
