Variables in directories

[AndyA]

My problem is that I need a directory to be created on my ftp account (File Manager), which has the title of a variable. In other words, this is on a registration page, and I would like the directory created to be the name of the username submitted.

Here's what I have so far:

@ftp_mkdir($conn_id, '/public_html/profiles/" . $userUsername . "'); 

Is this possible to do? If so, how could it be done?

Thanks in advance for any help, Andy.

Try this:

$new_dir = '/public_html/profiles/' . $userUsername;

@ftp_mkdir($conn_id, $new_dir); 

Suggestion: I know the user-submitted examples in the php manual make use of the @ prefix to functions. But, generally, I don't believe that to be the best approach.

@ suppresses errors. It's far better in my opinion to handle the errors in your code rather than suppressing them.

if its on the same website couldn't you jsut use mkdir?

Wow. Fantastic!

Thanks sooo much John. It's all working great now!

Couldn't have done it without you, great idea! Thanks a million.

Here's my final code for that section:

    $ftp_server = $ftpserver;
    $ftp_user = $ftpuser;
    $ftp_password = $ftppass;

    $conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
    $login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user, $ftp_password);

    if((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result))
    {
            echo "FTP connection has failed!";
            echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user $ftp_user";
       }

    $new_dir = '/public_html/profiles/' . $userUsername;
    ftp_mkdir($conn_id, $new_dir);

    $temp = tmpfile();
    //Upload the temporary file to server
    $new_file = '/public_html/profiles/' . $userUsername . '/' . $userUsername;
    ftp_fput($conn_id, $new_file, $temp, FTP_BINARY);

    ftp_close($conn_id);
