is this possible??

[thegman]

i am trying to design a site where people can logon and save things onto the server but when they click save i want it open a specific folder for that use. Like there own my docs.

I have been told that this may be possible using PHP but I have never dabbled in these black arts!!

i have been looking around and I have found out that the logging can be done with a mixture of php and mysql and taking a stab in the dark im guessing that you can use the logging details to call some variable to pull the specific folder.

Can some please help or point me to some tutorials that will help me

Presume that you will use mysql to store user data such as their login details, and php to validate the login.

You can also store the path to the personal dir in the database, or just use their username if you have enforced uniqueness there.

PHP has a full set of file system functions to manage the creation and checking of folders. By concatenating their personal info with a base path, you can generate the save path at run time, as well as list contents etc.

If you want to use .htaccess for login then you can also configure it to set path vars and write access to individual folders per user.
