I am not sure if this is only a Win/Win2k problem. However when using mkdir on this system to create a folder you can ONLY create a folder under an existing folder that is if you have c:\tmp which is an empty folder mkdir("c:\tmp\new",0777); WILL WORK however mkdir("c:\tmp\new\new2\new3",0777) WILL NOT WORK as the subdirectories new and new2 do not exist and windows does not make them for you. use the following in such cases $the_path=""c:\tmp\new\new2\new3"; if(!file_exists($the_path)) { $a=""; foreach(explode("/",$the_path) AS $k) { $a.=$k."/"; if(!file_exists($a)) mkdir($a, 0777); } } -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mkdir.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+22879 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+22879 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+22879
