PHP Create Directory

[cmdr_bond]

Hello,

I am trying to tell PHP to check if a directory exists and if it does not, create it with CMOD 0777. I have the following code that does not seem to work:

$username = "cmdr_bond";
$upload_dir = "../images/$username/";
	if (!is_dir($upload_dir)) {
  if (!mkdir($upload_dir,0777))
  	die ("upload_files directory doesn't exist and creation failed");
}

Can you show me what's wrong with this?

Thanks

Does it give any errors? (Turn error reporting to show notices, warnings and errors). Or is just not creating the folder, displaing die message?
(In the second case, I've got no idea 😉 )

It could also be file permissions. If you haven't already got permission to write in that directory then it's curtains. Time to ftp in and chmod away.
