Create directories from list

[volcom3s8]

I have a list of names in a text file seperated by a line break (I could also make them seperated by commas). I am trying to take that list and make a folder for each of the names on that list. I'm not too familiar with more advanced php scripts, and I came up with this, which doesn't work:

$handle = fopen("names.txt", "r"); 
$text = fread($handle, filesize("names.txt")); 
fclose($handle); 

// explode into array 
$thenames = explode("\n",$text); 
for($i=0;$i<284;$i++) 
{ 
echo "$thenames[$i]<br>";
mkdir("$thenames[$i]", 0700);
}

I made the echo just to make sure it is outputting correctly, and it does generate a list of all the names, but the mkdir() does not work (no directories are made).

Any ideas?

who is this person telling everybody to put variables between " ?

try

$folders = file('names.txt');
foreach($folders as $folder) {
  echo $folder.'<br />';
  mkdir($folder, 0700);
}

btw: you're sure that 0700 is waht you want?

do you get an error message?

Did you check to make sure you have the correct permissions to make the directories in the current directory? That sounds like the problem since you are able to correctly list the names. You can also place error_reporting(E_ALL) at the top of the script to see if there are any other errors/notices/warnings being generated.

Nevermind!

Permissions problem.
