[Resolved] What would be the best way of doing this?

I have a site and its soon to be released. When members regester I will give them a folder with 2 pages called notes and homework. they will not have access to edit eather so they just needed to be added.

Anyways. what is the best way to create the folder. I am thinking i could set up a page to compair folders to the database and if it sees new stuff it will make the folder with the files. or should i just make it by hand and edit the files for each person.

I don't really know how to explain it. I will edit it or post again if i know how to explain it better.

Well is there any activation required once they have registered you could do this using php quite easily.

If there is no activation required do it when they register

Required Functions
[man]mkdir[/man] [man]fopen[/man] [man]fwrite[/man] (depending if you need to write data) [man]fclose[/man] you may also need [man]umask[/man] umask will allow you to write the correct permissions when creating the directory (0777) there are quite a few threads that display good use with this however there is also a comment on the mkdir manual page.

Hope this is a step in the right direction for you.

thanks, now lets get this together.

is there a way i can change this around to make a config file to specify all the changes

// create directory through FTP connection 
function FtpMkdir($path, $newDir) { 

$server='ftp.yourserver.com'; // ftp server 
$connection = ftp_connect($server); // connection 


// login to ftp server 
$user = "me"; 
$pass = "password"; 
$result = ftp_login($connection, $user, $pass); 

// check if connection was made 
if ((!$connection) || (!$result)) { 
return false; 
exit(); 
} else { 
ftp_chdir($connection, $path); // go to destination dir 
if(ftp_mkdir($connection,$newDir)) { // create directory 
return $newDir; 
} else { 
return false; 
} 
ftp_close($conn_id); // close connection 
} 

}

how do i change the path?

what "changes"

you pass whatever path you want when calling the function

ok i have the following code

/* Everything has passed both error checks that we have done.
It's time to create the account! */

//lets say where the files are going and the directory name
$newDir = ($kids_name); 
$path = (public_html/scn/9);

//Lets encrypt the password
$db_password = md5($password);


//Before we enter it all into the database lets first create the folder

// create directory through FTP connection
function FtpMkdir($path, $newDir) { 

$server='ftp.mooecow.ahost4free.com'; // ftp server
$connection = ftp_connect($server); // connection


// login to ftp server
$user = "******"; 
$pass = "*******"; 
$result = ftp_login($connection, $user, $pass); 

// check if connection was made
if ((!$connection) || (!$result)) { 
return false; 
exit(); 
} else { 
ftp_chdir($connection, $path); // go to destination dir
if(ftp_mkdir($connection,$newDir)) { // create directory
return $newDir; 
} else { 
return false; 
} 
ftp_close($conn_id); // close connection
} 

}

// Enter info into the Database.

so when i run it i get this error

Warning: Division by zero in /home/mooecow/public_html/scn/member/register9.php on line 82
Unknown column 'kids_name' in 'field list'

so what can i do to fix that

Tinman

first off putting your ftp server address, user and pass in a public forum NOT a good idea. Second what is on line 82 of register9.php
