Upload Script based on timestamp

[twantrd]

Hi there,

I'm trying to setup a php script for users to be able to upload. I got the upload piece working but what's killing me is the directory timestamp. So, the scenario is that when a user uploads a file, the script will place that file on a directory based on the current date. Creating the directory based on the date is easy as I can write something in perl and put that in cron.

My variable in upload.php is this:
$file_dir = "/home/httpd-2.2.3/htdocs/"date("m.d.y");

I've seen other examples where people hard-code the path but I can't in this situation. Any advice? Is this even possible in php? Thank you.

If you don't hard-code at least the part of the path leading up to the daily directory, how will you set it?


Shouldn't your line of code read:

$file_dir = "/home/httpd-2.2.3/htdocs/" . date("m.d.y");

?

You can also use the [blue]mkdir()[/blue] function to create the directory from withing PHP
using the timestamp.

Thanks guys! I got the answer. My variable needed to be set like so:

$upload_dir = "/home/httpd-2.2.3/htdocs/".date("m.d.y")."/";
