#32516 [Bgs]: mkdir's recursive parameter

ID: 32516 User updated by: cbelin at free dot fr Reported By: cbelin at free dot fr Status: Bogus Bug Type: Directory function related Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 5.0.3 New Comment: Yes ! It works with the proper use of DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR constant. Thanks Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-04-03 16:50:55] tony2001@php.net Use appropriate slashes on Windows (i.e. DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR constant). I doubt this behaviour will be changed ever, because "dir\name" is perfectly valid directory name on *nix. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-04-01 09:21:05] cbelin at free dot fr Here is a simple example of the "bug" : <?php mkdir("toto/tata/titi/tutu", 0777, true); ?> It outputs : Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: No such file or directory in D:\Serveur Web\...\toto.php on line 2 Instead, I must use successive mkdir() calls : <?php mkdir("toto", 0777); chdir("toto"); mkdir("tata", 0777); chdir("tata"); mkdir("titi", 0777); chdir("titi"); mkdir("tutu", 0777); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-03-31 20:38:21] sniper@php.net Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce this bug ourselves. A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>, is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external resources such as databases, etc. If possible, make the script source available online and provide an URL to it here. Try to avoid embedding huge scripts into the report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-03-31 15:41:15] cbelin at free dot fr Description: ------------ What is the purpose of the 'recursive' parameter of the 'mkdir' function ? I expected that it allow to create a directory structure recursively but it doesn't seem to work ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=32516&edit=1
