Creating mutliple directories

[niklang]

Hi there,

My website contains a registration screen where a user enters a unique username, when this is done i wish to create a directory on my server called $username (whatever they choose).
I also wish to create two sub dirs inside this one.

The code i have is:

mkdir($username, 0777);
mkdir ("\$username\slides", 0777);
mkdir ("\$username\smil", 0777);

The first line works fine but the two after give me the error:

Warning: mkdir() failed (No such file or directory) in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\final\register.php on line 204

Any idea why this maybe or how to achieve what i wish to do?
I am running on windows if this makes any difference.

Thanks for any help offered.

Why are you including the "\" in those lines? Surely this is what you meant to do?

mkdir($username, 0777); 
mkdir ($username."\slides", 0777); 
mkdir ($username."\smil", 0777);
