Re: ASP to PHP

Hi Tim, I'll get ya started. You really need to read the manual or buy a book, your asking alot here. <? # Collect UserName from Form input if (strlen($UserName) = 0) #you need a textbox in the form called UserName (case sensitive) { # no UserName entered # NoUserName () echo "Please <b>re-enter</b> your UserName"; exit(); # Check to see if folder already exists if( !$UserFolder = dirname("C:\inetpub\wwwroot\".$UserName));

     {

# Create the user directory new dir($UserFolder);

     }

else

     {

# first make sure the file exists

        if( !$result = is_file("C:\inetpub\wwwroot\templates\referred.htm", $UserFolder."\index.htm")
	    {
     	      #  add code here to create the file -- read the manual hint look for fopen() and fwrite()
	    } 

$return = copy("C:\inetpub\wwwroot\templates\referred.htm", $UserFolder."\index.htm");

        if( !$return )
	    {	

echo "There is a problem copying the file"; exit();

	    }

else

	    {

# point them to the new file

                 header("Location:".$UserFolder."\index.htm");
	    }
      }

} else {

     # UserName already exists so call this function
     UserNameExists();
     echo"The Username you have selected <b>already exists</b>.Please try again");
