Creating a Folder

[DonP]

I am writing some code to create two folders automatically but it seems to be giving the incorrect ownership (root rather than user) and wrong permissions - they need to be readable and writable. This is the first I've done this sort of thing so I hope someone can help!

$oldumask = umask(0); 
$ServerPath = getenv("DOCUMENT_ROOT");

$NewUserFolder = mysql_insert_id() . "-" . CCGetParam("FirstName", "") . CCGetParam("LastName", "");
mkdir($ServerPath . "/files/" .  $NewUserFolder, 01755);
mkdir($ServerPath . "/files/" .  $NewUserFolder . "/temp/", 01755);
umask($oldumask);

They are being creating with the proper name and in the proper place though.

hmm

by returning the $NewDir you immediately terminate the execution of the function. so the ftp_chmod never gets executed.

try putting the return function after the ftp_chmod line

Yes, I wondered about that. However, I get an error:

Call to undefined function: ftp_chmod()

At least now I know it is trying to execute! Any ideas about the error? Is it some server configuration that the hosting company can change?

it's only available in certain installations of php v.5 and above.

i'm not sure that many hosting companies will have upgraded yet - there are some significant differences between v4 and v5 - particularly in variable handling.

I found the following excerpt within the php user manual. you should be able to adapt it, I guess.

if ftp_chmod doesn't work, jusdt try this :

$ftp_ip="ip_of_my_serv_ftp";
$ftp_login="my_login";
$ftp_pass="my_pass";
$ftp_file="/[URL unfurl="true"]www/motd.txt";[/URL]
$conn_id=ftp_connect($ftp_ip);
$login_result=@ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_login, $ftp_pass);
<!-- Here's the hack -->
$chmod_cmd="CHMOD 0666 ".$ftp_file;
$chmod=ftp_site($conn_id, $chmod_cmd);
ftp_quit($conn_id);
