#33140 [Com]: Recursive 'mkdir' doesn't work when path includes a non-existent root folder

ID: 33140 Comment by: zefredz at gmail dot com Reported By: cbelin at free dot fr Status: No Feedback Bug Type: Directory function related Operating System: * PHP Version: 5CVS-2005-05-26 New Comment: I have made a little test and I figure out taht giving the full path is not required but that you have to use the backslashes instead of the slashes to make the recursive mkdir work : <code> mkdir ('toto/tutu/titi', 0777, true); # FAILS mkdir ('toto\tutu\titi', 0777, true); # WORKS </code> But when not in recursive mode, mkdir works with either slashes or backslashes. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-15 08:48:03] zefredz at gmail dot com I have the same bug with PHP 5.0.4 and the given snapshot. But other PHP developpers in my development team does not get the error message while using the same PHP version than mine. The problem occurs on my computer with PHP 5.1 too. The only difference I can figure out between those developers and I is that I am still using Windows XP SP1 while they are using Windows XP SP2. Can this be the cause of the bug ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-02 01:00:03] php-bugs at lists dot php dot net No feedback was provided for this bug for over a week, so it is being suspended automatically.

IMO the simplest way is to check if the first character is 0 and change it to DEFAULT_SLASH. Not sure how it would work on Windows though.
