note 44607 deleted from function.mkdir by aidan

Note Submitter: matt_DOTbevan_ATmarginsoftware_DOTcom ---- As I was unable to use some of the more esoteric examples of a mkdir_p routine, I hashed out my own. One of the major differences with mine is it does not use any substrs, though they would probably be faster - my solution is easier to follow. (And works; one of them ran into an infinite loop attempting to create '/'... ;) <? // Returns true when directories were created. function mkdir_p($target) { // If the path already exists && is a directory, all is well. // If the path is not a directory, we've a problem. if (file_exists($target)) { if (!is_dir($target)) return false; else return true; } // Attempting to create the directory may clutter up our display. if ( @mkdir($target) ) return true; // If the above failed, attempt to create the parent node, then try again. if ( mkdir_p(dirname($target)) ) return mkdir_p($target); return false; } ?>
