if($induk[$i] != 'root'){
try{
mkdir("../../stok/".$induk[$i], 777);
mkdir("../../thumbs/".$induk[$i], 777);
}
catch(Exception $e){
//nothing to do
}
mkdir("../../stok/".$induk[$i]."/".$kategori[$i], 777);
mkdir("../../thumbs/".$induk[$i]."/".$kategori[$i], 777);
}
else{
mkdir("../../stok/".$kategori[$i], 777);
mkdir("../../thumbs/".$kategori[$i], 777);
}

I've tried to use try catch Exception, but there's no effect at all.

Hope that somebody can help me.
Thanks

Code:

---

<?php
$file = "some_file.txt";
if(file_exists($file)){
  echo "The file ".$file." exists!";
}
else {
  echo "Sorry, the file ".$file." doesn't exist!";
}
?>

can it effects directory?

Thanks

What do you mean 'effect'?

file_exists($file) -> can it be done for :

$folder = "../../stok/Temp";

file_exists($folder);

is it works?

File_exists returns 1 or 0. So no... You'd have to do:

Code:

---

<?php
// ... code here
echo file_exists($folder);
?>

---

Which will echo 1 if it exists, and nothing if it doesn't.

great...it works...thanks a lot palz..

Actually, true or false. In PHP these are hacked up with 1 and the empty string, ''. Why? Why are the two equivalents taken from different types? Why do people still use PHP? Nobody knows.

There's nothing wrong with php...

What else are we gonna use anyways? ASP? Yuck..

Of course not. *cough* *cough*

Alternatives? Python, Ruby, Haskell, Common Lisp, C#, F#... heck, even Java's somewhat preferable. It may be huge and clumsy, but it doesn't have hacks like that in it.
