Directory in directory

[bluewalrus]

mkdir($path . $gal_name);
mkdir($path . $gal_name . "/thumb");


Should this work or am I missing something? I want to create 2 directories at a time. Without the second line it was working, but when I put the second line in it created a directory that I couldnt access with my ftp or rmdir.

Looks fine to me, assuming $path and $gal_name make sense-- is there a slash being added between those, or are they becoming one string-- $pathgal_name, not $path/$gal_name?

It may be an issue with folder permissions. You can use the second parameter to create it with 0777 (all access).
Then the third parameter can be used to make it recursive, and save you a bit of work.

I think the variables are correct...

$path = "./images/$user/";
$gal_name = "users text input";
$user = "text string depending on user";

What are the default settings if 0777 isn't set? Does that only grant the php user access?

Just try


mkdir($path . $gal_name . "/thumb",0777, true);


But for security reason use this

$gal_name = preg_replace("/[\/\.\s]/","",$gal_name);
this will remove slashes, dots and whitespaces
