[RESOLVED] create a new folder

nokicky

hey, i'm trying to create a script for making new folders on my web server... this is what i've got so far...

<?php
function makedirectory($dirname){
mkdir('folder',0755);
}
?>

<form action="<?makedirectory()?>" method="post">
Sub-Folder Name: <input name="subfolder" type="text" />
<input type="submit" value="create" />
</form>

</body>
</html>

I want to be able to use my html form to be able to define the name of the folder that's going to be created.
i would be very very thankful of any help! thanks in advanced!

Ultra basic:

<?php
  if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
    $dirName = $_POST['dirName'];
    if(mkdir($dirName))
      $advise = 'Success';
    else
      $advise = 'Failure';
  }
?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
  <head>
  <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
  <title></title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <?php
      if(isset($advise))
        echo $advise;
    ?>
    <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">
      <input type="text" name="dirName" value="" /><br /><br />
      <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
    </form>
  </body>
</html>

As a note, this would only make directories where the web server has write permissions, and also, doesn't take into account if I punch in ../../etc or something of that nature. And don't forget to mark this resolved. 😉
