PHP Loop mkdir failing - php

Question

Sorry to bother you with this. I'm running mkdir to replicate directories that I have stored in a DB.
If I display the data on a php page the directories look like this:
element1/Content/EPAC/PROD
element1/Content/EPAC/TEST
element1/Content/EPAC_SG/PROD
element1/Content/EU/PROD
element1/Content/EU/TEST
The above is a subset of the data. What is happening with the above subset when I loop through it, it creates the directory element1/Content/EPAC/PROD but ignores element1/Content/EPAC/TEST and element1/Content/EPAC_SG/PROD, Then it creates element1/Content/EU/PROD but ignores element1/Content/EU/TEST etc and continues through the loop like that. The code I'm using is:
foreach($NSRarray as $value)
{
mkdir("ftpfolders/$value", 0700, true);
}
*the $value variable above is the 'element1/Content/EPAC/PROD' record taken from the DB.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Ste

Answer 1

I would split this into generating directories one at a time.
Transform your array into sth. like
$dics=array(
'element1' => array(
'Content' => array(
'EPAC' => array('PROD', 'TEST'),
'EPAC_SG' => array('PROD')
'EU' => array('PROD', 'TEST')
)
)
);
Then loop over it, starting with array_keys($dics) and create the directory if not existing.
Continue with array_keys($dics['element1']) and then repeat it until your reach the inner childs.
Hope this helps.

use this code, this will gives you proper folder structure as per your requirement
<?php
$NSRarray = array('element1/Content/EPAC/PROD', 'element1/Content/EPAC/TEST', 'element1/Content/EPAC_SG/PROD','element1/Content/EU/PROD','element1/Content/EU/TEST');
foreach($NSRarray as $value)
{
$getFolders = explode('/' , $value);
$mainFoldername = "ftpfolders";
$countfolder = 0;
$countfolder = count($getFolders);
$tempName = "";
$i = 0;
for($i == 0; $i < $countfolder; $i++){
$tempName .= $getFolders[$i];
if (!file_exists("$mainFoldername/$tempName")) {
mkdir("$mainFoldername/$tempName", 0700, true);
}
$tempName .= '/';
}
}
?>
