Re: How do you make a directory

How about a trailing slash after the directory name ;-) like this: $dirpath = "/home/sites/home/users/demodocs/web/userforum/" . $username; you had: $dirpath = "/home/sites/home/users/demodocs/web/userforum" . $username; which would try to create a new directory inside the web directory. die("$dirpath"); // excellent for debugging :-) Jim Grill Support Web-1 Hosting http://www.web-1hosting.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roger Lewis" <re.lewis@attbi.com> To: "Php-General" <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, July 23, 2002 10:12 PM Subject: [PHP] How do you make a directory > I'm trying to learn to create a directory in php, and from everything I've > read I created this simple test that I put into the file add_user_dir.php. > Unfortunately I can't get it to work.
