When this problem is re examined, you will see that it's not really an upload issue, it's a matter of creating directories on the server. As such all you need is to figure out the userId from the session information and to create a directory on the server to match that. You can also make use of the file_exists() call to find out if the directory is already present.

Javascript file upload?

you could use
<?PHP
mkdir("your_dir", 0755);
?>

in your case it would maybe be;
<?PHP mkdir("members/$memberid", 0755); ?>

OR

<?PHP
$memberid = @$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["id"];
mkdir("members/$memberid", 0755);
?>

The numbers are chmod, basically chmod refers to setting the access privledges for a file. You you can do a quick search for more infomation about chmod.

PHP Code:

<?php

$filename = '/path/to/foo.txt';



if (file_exists($filename)) {

   echo "The file $filename exists";

} else {

   echo "The file $filename does not exist";

}

?>
