mkdir question.

[chads2k2]

Hey I have a question that I hope you can answer. I want to create an dir with mkdir and then have it open the dir, and write an index.php inside that dir. My question is how do I do that? Do I need to use fwrite or what? I am on a shared hosting and doubt that my server will let fwrite happen but I have never ever ever used it before in my life. I am the dumbest kid when it comes to this type of stuff! Aside from me being the dumbest kid always! 😉 Can anyone be nice and help this N00B out? Thank you very much and have a wonderful day!

why dont you read the manual?
www.php.net, it helps much faster than you thinks 😃

True it helps... but it also helps if you know what you are looking for. In this case I have no idea where to even start! I have made way with one of my other friends on creating the dir. So that is all good. The whole creating the index.php is what I am having trouble with. Can ya help me on that one? Is there a way to create the source code in another index.php and then have it look there get that file write the variable names differently and then write that file to the directory? I know what I am attempting to do but cannot explain it very well. Terribly sorry.

This is what I got so far to create the dir

<?php
function createhost($dir) {
mkdir($dir, "7777");
touch("$dir");
chmod("$dir", 0755);
}
createhost("./help");
?>

I know its not much but its my first time doing this. Thank you to all who have read. If you can help please do. Thank you.
