i am tring to auto create a directory with mkdir but niether works correctly
the first code creates the directory "pics2/thumbnails" the secont produces nothing, what i need is "pics/2/thumbnails"

$path2="pics".$result_of_query[0]."/thumbnails";
mkdir($path2);

$path2="pics/".$result_of_query[0]."/thumbnails";
mkdir($path2);

thanks in advance

i'm running php5.x on a linux box

What do you get if you try to print $result_of_query[0]? I would think that you don't get a result.

i do get correct output for print $result_of_query[0];

its just when i add the forward slash into the mkdir command that it stops working.

Try recursive mode:

mkdir($path2, 0777, true);  // Or other permissions

My guess is that the first one works because the parent directory already exists.

Set the recursive parameter from mkdir to TRUE.

mkdir($path, 0644, TRUE);
