Prepend a trailing forward slash upon post whether entered or not...

[AshleyQuick]

How can this be modified so that a user supplied directory path is prepended by a trailing forward slash whether it's entered or not?

Also, I'd rather not have the slash appear in the value if possible.

if (isset($_POST['newuser_dir']) && !$clearForm) print "value=\"".$_POST['newuser_dir']."\" ";

Why not get rid of the need to escape double quotes while you're at it as well

if (isset($_POST['newuser_dir']) && !$clearForm) print 'value="'.(strpos($_POST['newuser_dir'], '/') === false ? '/'.$_POST['newuser_dir'] : $_POST['newuser_dir'])  .'" ';

This seems to work but it places the / at the beginning. I meant to say append (needs to be placed at the end). How would this be done? Sorry!!

($_POST['newuser_dir'][strlen($_POST['newuser_dir'])-1] == '/' ? $_POST['newuser_dir'] : $_POST['newuser_dir'] . '/')

Thanks for the help. I have no idea why it's still not working. The directory is created but the trailing slash isn't added.

It is indeed appended. This code

	$_POST['newuser_dir'] = 'slashdir/';
	echo ($_POST['newuser_dir'][strlen($_POST['newuser_dir'])-1] == '/' ? $_POST['newuser_dir'] : $_POST['newuser_dir'] . '/') ;

$_POST['newuser_dir'] = 'noslash';
echo ($_POST['newuser_dir'][strlen($_POST['newuser_dir'])-1] == '/' ? $_POST['newuser_dir'] : $_POST['newuser_dir'] . '/') ;

outputs

slashdir/
noslash/

What's your current code?
