checking if a remote directory exists...

[eluser]visormatt[/eluser]
So I am building a client back-end for my company and I have hit a block... I am using CI's FTP to create folders and subfolders based off of some form details... Now what i need to do is check if the Client Directory Exists via FTP before adding the folders... Any help would be appreciated.



$this->ftp->connect(); // NOW CREATE THE FOLDER STRUCTURE ON THE SERVER

if(!$absolutePath .$_POST['upClient']) // check if Client directory exists if not CREATE IT
{
$this->ftp->mkdir($absolutePath .$_POST['upClient'], DIR_WRITE_MODE);
}

$this->ftp->mkdir($absolutePath .$_POST['upClient'] ."/" .$_POST['upNumber'], DIR_WRITE_MODE);
$this->ftp->mkdir($absolutePath .$_POST['upClient'] ."/" .$_POST['upNumber'] ."/swf", DIR_WRITE_MODE);
$this->ftp->mkdir($absolutePath .$_POST['upClient'] ."/" .$_POST['upNumber'] ."/img", DIR_WRITE_MODE);

$this->ftp->close(); // BEST PRACTICE - Close the connection...

redirect('development/selectedProject/' .$upNumber);

Code:

if($this->ftp->list_files($absolutePath . $_POST[‘upClient’]) === FALSE) // check if Client directory exists if not CREATE IT
{
  $this->ftp->mkdir($absolutePath .$_POST[‘upClient’], DIR_WRITE_MODE);
}

I havu use your codes early but I had a problem with it.
the below one works fine

Code:

if (count($this->ftp->list_files($this->image_path)) == 0) { // check if Client directory exists if not CREATE IT
            $this->ftp->mkdir('foldername/foldername/foldername', DIR_WRITE_MODE);
  
        }
