#48401 [NEW]: File & Directory Functions: Auto create intermediate directories from filepath
From: stefan-nowak-php at mailinator dot com
Operating system:
PHP version: 5.2.9
PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description: File & Directory Functions: Auto create intermediate directories from filepath
Description:
------------
It would be nice if all/some of PHP's file and directory functions would
offer a flag AUTO_CREATE_DIRS, which would then cause these functions to
automatically create directories for the given filepath, which yet don't
exist.
Many shell tools allow similar functionality (i.e: mkdir -p)
Reproduce code:
---------------
file_put_contents ( "/existing-dir/not-yet-existing-dir/file", "test");
// Warning: file_put_contents (existing-dir/not-yet-existing-dir/file):
failed to open stream: No such file or directory
Expected result:
----------------
file_put_contents ( "/existing-dir/not-yet-existing-
dir/sub1/sub2/file.txt", "test", AUTO_CREATE_DIR);
// If my sugestion would be implemented I would then expect PHP to
automatically create the directories:
// not-yet-existing-dir , sub1, sub2
// and the file:
// file.txt
