fopen: failed to open stream

curly0

I have a script which creates a directory according to username, it was working fine but for some reason gave up on me. The directory isn't being created and that's why i'm getting this error (I think):

Warning: fopen(testuser/index.html) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/blabla/public_html/makepage.php on line 9
can't open file

 <?php

/* Variables */

$user = $_POST['user'];
$pageTitle = $_POST['pageTitle'];
$pageTitle= stripslashes($pageTitle);
$fileName = "index.html";
$fh = fopen($user."/".$fileName, 'w') or die("can't open file");
$fileData = "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN\" \"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd\">\n<html>\n<head>\n<title>$pageTitle</title>\n</head>\n<body>\n\n</body>\n</html>";

/* End Variables */

mkdir($user);
fwrite($fh, $fileData);
fclose($fh);
?>

Any ideas? thanks in advance,

Try an absolute path.

$fh = fopen(dirname(__FILE__).'/'.$user."/".$fileName, 'w')

Also, if the directory doesn't exist, you'll need mkdir before fopen.

thanks, the problem was the mkdir and fopen in the wrong order.... why is it always the most obvious things that go wrong? doh!
