Re: Creating files with PHP - need help

If I use full path I get in trouble with spaces in the path like "c:\program files\Apache ...", in this case the path would be "c:\program" due to the space in the path. Of cause I could make a new dir on C like "c:\articles" to work around this, but if I could get the files into a sub folder of http-server-root that would be prefered.

When you refer to a ROOT; to create a file, you are not referring to the MACHINE's root, but to the FILE SYSTEM ROOT. That is why the file goes to HTDOCS. Try creating the file using an ABSOLUTE PATH, e.g "c:\Docs\example-dir\54.txt" Regards, Luis ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sviss" <sviss@nospam.dk> To: <php-windows@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, October 08, 2002 9:46 PM Subject: [PHP-WIN] Creating files with PHP - need help > Hi NG. > > I'm having problems creating files at a certain location. > If I attemt to create a file it gets created in the rootdir (htdocs) even > though I add a path infront of the file name.
