mkdir and rmdir with php

RoyalMarine

quick question regarding mkdir and php.

can i use mkdir to create a folder say here

htdocs/project/useraccounts/

and the foldername in there assigned by a variable name?

so when a user registers, a folder is made for their username in the useraccounts folder.

$foldername = $_POST;

the above works fine and the folder is created.
but its in the project folder.

$foldername = "/useraccounts/".$_POST;

trying something like this, but no joy yet.

any suggestions?

also trying to remove the directory when the user terminates their account, but ive read that using rmdir wont work if there are files in the folder.

would deltree be a good idea?

RoyalMarine

$foldername = $_POST["username"];
mkdir("useraccounts/" . $foldername, 0777);

got it....


now, trying to move the file from the tmp folder...

$id = $_SESSION;

else
{
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
"useraccounts/" . $_id . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);

}

using this just moves the file from the tmp to the useraccounts folder.

how would i get it to move to the user's folder?

move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
"useraccounts/" . $_id . "/".$_FILES["file"]["name"]);

sadly thats still putting the image into the useraccounts folder and not useraccounts/specifieduser/

I found this very nice function to delete a folder and all its contents. It could be useful:
[PHP]function rrmdir($path)
{
return is_file($path)?
@unlink($path):
array_map('rrmdir',glob($path.'/*'))==@rmdir($path)
;
}[/PHP]
It's not my code, I found it in the comments here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.unlink.php
