Hi...

i'm a newbie in programming. can someone help to assist ....

i'm trying to create new sub folder inside the upload folder. however the folder name value is not as expected.

the code is below

PHP Code:

<?php

require_once('db.php');

include('functions.php');

include('settings.php');



//folder name value equal username value

$fname = "get_username($_SESSION[user_id])";

mkdir ("/home/eddy/public_html/testing2/upload/$fname/", 0777);

?>

the folder name created should be the same name as "username" but the current cretaed output folder name called "get_username()" instead of "username"

where do I get wrong?? please help...

Change this line:

PHP Code:

$fname = "get_username($_SESSION[user_id])"; 

To:

PHP Code:

$fname = get_username($_SESSION['user_id']); 

You were trying to call get_username() function, but you put quotes around it which will make the value "get_username()"

Thanks phpdoctor for your advice!

but still no luck.. i tried to called the get_username() function and it give me an error...

below is the error message after i changed the code to
$fname = get_username($_SESSION['user_id']);

Error
Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: File exists in /home/eddy/public_html/testing2/confirm.php on line 7

Btw, the folder is not created and not such folder name exists

is the anything else i do wrong on the code?

try this:

PHP Code:

 mkdir ("./upload/$fname", 0777); 

or i think this:

PHP Code:

 mkdir ("upload/$fname", 0777);
