[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hello, Im trying to add a function that creates a folder based on th e$username
I declared the function $username
then I used mkdir($username);
it doesnt create it
it says mkdir function error
or it goes to a blank page and doesnt create the folder

You should really provide the absolute path that you want to create the directory in.

Code:

mkdir('/home/dotpag/htdocs/users/'.$username);

I'd also suggest some validation to ensure that $username is a valid file name to use with the file system.

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Warning

Message: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: File exists

Filename: controllers/auth.php

I checked the file doesnt exist
this is the code i used :
$username = $this->dx_auth->get_username();
mkdir('/home/www/site.com/users/'.$username);

nvm I figured it out, $username wasnt declared at that level
so it was trying to create the folder users that already existed thats why it kept giving me those errors
Thanks again!
