How to create folder?

[elitis]

How would you create a folder for user files when the user registers? It requires the $_FILE(S?) global variable correct?

Nope. You issue a mkdir.
Although the worth is questionable. You'd be better off tracking data within the database and using your own directories which could be logically partitioned if you need them to be (filesystems used to have quite a low limitation on the number of files per directory, so we'd split them up based on names and user ids).
Although if everything is grouped by a single user, it does make deletions easier. So I guess that would be a pro for that.

This is your solution. What this code is doing is finding if the folder "DESIREDFOLDER" folder exists on your server; if not, it will create one for you; if so, it will not do anything. Also, change "DESIREDFOLDER" do your desired folder name. Have fun.

PHP Code:

<?
    $dirname = $_POST["DirectoryName"];
    $filename = ("/home/site/public_html/DESIREDFOLDER/");
 
    if (file_exists($filename)) {
        echo "";
    } else {
        mkdir("/home/site/public_html/DESIREDFOLDER/", 0777);
        echo "";
    }
?>

That is it. Make directories based on a better logic based on the users you have and amount of files you are expecting to store. It will also be a secure solution, otherwise anyone who know the userame could access all the files. Refer all files stored in the database and use random names for stored files.
