mkdir question

daxxy

I have spent all day trying to figure this out. I can create a directory no problem. What I'm trying to do is fill out the form to name the directory.I have read everything I could find and then some. So here it is. Any help would be appreciated.

Form

<html> 
<form method="POST" action="cdir.php">
Enter Directory Name<br>
<input type="text" value="" name="dname"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Create">
</form>

</body> 
</html>

PHP

<?php


//Create folder
mkdir ("$dname", 0755);
?>

Thanks.

You must have permision to write in the parent directory of the directory you whant to create ! ( sorry for my english i hope you understand or help )

If your server is setup correctly then you need to use $POST['dname'] instead of $dname.

mkdir ("$_POST['dname']", 0755);
