My task is for user can login and access their account and file uploads. If the user will upload any file it goes to my destination folder named as 'uploads'.

Answer 1

What you're looking for is the mkdir function. You can create a directory by using:
mkdir('/path/to/dir', 0700);
as noted in the PHP documentation.

Answer 2

Try with -
//check if the folder not exists then create it
if (!file_exists('<rootpath>/<username>')) { //<rootpath> will be the path from document root and <username> will be the username you want
mkdir('<rootpath>/<username>');
}
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upl']['tmp_name'], '<path>/<username>/'.$_FILES['upl']['name'])) // <path> be the relative path
{
echo '{"status":"success"}';
exit;
}
Suppose You want to upload the file inside uploads/username folder.
$path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/uploads';
Now create the folder -
mkdir($path."/".$username); //$username be the username you want
Now upload the file
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upl']['tmp_name'], 'uploads/'.$username.'/'.$_FILES['upl']['name'])

Answer 3

Use mkdir() function to create a folder upon user registration.
Upon login create a $_SESSION variable storing the username.
When using move_uploaded_file() function add session variable to path.
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upl']['tmp_name'], '../uploads/'.$_SESSION['username'].'/'.$_FILES['upl']['name'])

Thanks SGT... I got the answer with this code
$userfolder = $_SESSION['email'];
//echo $userfolder;
$path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'register/uploads';
if (!file_exists('$path')) {
mkdir($path."/".$userfolder);
}
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upl']['tmp_name'], '../uploads/'.$userfolder.'/'.$_FILES['upl']['name'])){
echo '{"status":"success"}';
exit;
}
Thanks Again
