creating directory

[romram]

I had used the code below to create a directory:

$username = strtolower($_SESSION["loginUsername"]);
$dir = "\\instructor\\" . $username;
if(!file_exists($dir)
mkdir($dir,0700);

before adding "\\instructor\\" . to the $dir varible it was working,
but because I want the folder to be created inside anothyer folder which is instructor folder I add this peice of code, but now it is not working..
Do somebody know what is the problem?????

Slashes are the wrong way. You need forward slashes

PHP Code:

$dir = "/instructor/" . $username;

Is the instructer directory chmodded to 777?

Thankyou I solved the problem, but now I am facing another one, maybe you can help

I have page with name: ins_add_assig where I have a text field named "assigTitle" in the form tag I wrote the following:

<form name="form1" method="post" action="savefile.php?assig=$assigTitle" enctype="multipart/form-data">

in the page savefile.php I have the following code:

$username = strtolower($_SESSION["loginUsername"]);
$destination=  "instructor/" . $username . "/". $assig . "/";
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['uploadedFile']['tmp_name'],$destination);

PHP Code:

$assig = $_GET['assig'];
$username = strtolower($_SESSION["loginUsername"]);
$destination=  "instructor/" . $username . "/". $assig . "/";
copy($_FILES['uploadedFile']['tmp_name'],$destination);

I tried your answer and I print the path and this is what I got
"instructor/100/$assigTitle/ "

Change the form action to

PHP Code:

<form name="form1" method="post" action="savefile.php?assig=<?php echo $_POST['assigTitle'] ?>" enctype="multipart/form-data">

Although I really don't see the point of you adding it to the url
Just have savefile.php as the action and then use the below

PHP Code:

$assig = $_POST['assigTitle'];
//rest of your code here
