Create dir on the fly

[Rollo_Tamasi]

Is it possible to create a directory on a server on the fly based on a form which inputs into a database. Basically the form inputs the value "test" into the db and the folder at website.com/test is created.

Also is it possible that within the folder some php pages are included, so that lets say contact.php and sample.php are included in the test folder?

You can use the code below and see if that works. You will have to modify it to fit your server. I did not test it, but it should get you a step closer to what you are trying to do.

Be sure that the folder that you are creating another folder in is set to 777 before running the script.

<?
include "dbconnection.php";

$resourcefolder = "/Your/Server/Path/To/Folder/With/Files/You/Want/To/Copy/";
$filestocopy = array;

$filestocopy[0] = "contact.php";
$filestocopy[1] = "sample.php";

$foldername = "test";
mkdir($foldername, 0777);
chmod($foldername, 777);

$sql=mysql_query("INSERT INTO folders (foldername) VALUES ('$foldername'");

foreach($filestocopy as $ftc){
$frompath = $resourcefolder.$ftc;
$topath = $resourcefolder.$foldername."/".$ftc
if(copy($frompath, $topath)){
echo "Directory Created and files copied!";
} else {
echo "An error occured!";
}
?>

enjoy!
