I am stuck on a simple script. I have tried Googling it and I have tried all of the stuff I found on Google but none of it has worked for me. I am trying to you the mkdir function but I keep getting an error that says: Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: No such file or directory in /home/content/l/i/n/web/html/php/mkdir.php on line 6
Here is my code:
<?php
//Create the directory for the user
$directory = time() . rand(0, 49716) ;
if (mkdir("/users/$directory", 0777)) {
echo '<p>Directory was created successfully.</p>' ;
} else {
echo '<p>Directory was NOT created.</p>' ;
}
?>
I am placing the script called mkdir.php in the same folder as the users folder. The users folder has the permissions set to 0777. I am not sure why I keep getting this error because the users folder does exists. Any help is greatly appreciated.
if (mkdir("users/$directory", 0777)) {
:-)
Nevermind I figured it out. It was just that the first slash in "/users/$directory" should be "users/$directory".

iam doing my project in codeigniter in that i used to create new directory to upload my images.now i need to delete my new directory for that i have tired this coding,
$dir = '/var/www/uploads/chat/'.$input['chat_id'];
system('/bin/rm -rf ' . escapeshellarg($dir));
but its not working for me.i have got this coding from this link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1296681/php-simplest-way-to-delete-a-folder-including-its-contents what i need to do?
when you are creating the directory use 777 as permission like
mkdir('new_dir', 0777, true);
and then try the below code
if(rmdir('new_dir'))
{
echo "deleted";die;
}
else
{
echo "not deleted";die;
}
i checked it and found,if your folder has not right permission then it will not be deleted.
please try and let me know the status.
Here's my code; I've renamed the directories, obviously. ;)
$thepath = "/var/www/vhosts/sub.domain.co.uk/web/apps/storage/".$userclient."/evidence/".$scid."/".$doctype."/";
$testdir = is_dir($thepath);
if ($testdir == false) {
mkdir($thepath, 0777);
}
In this case, the following variables apply;
$userclient = '000';
$scid = '9263';
$doctype = 'Insurance Policy';
So, the path should be;
/var/www/vhosts/sub.domain.co.uk/web/apps/storage/000/evidence/9263/Insurance Policy/
I know this works, EVERYWHERE else in my code, I have other applications using an almost identical setup. But the one above, appears to be tripping up on /evidence/ - it sets the permissions to 755, but will then create the directories per time I run the code, if I set evidence to 777 (Octal).
I get the following error message using;
if (!#mkdir($thepath)) {
$error = error_get_last();
echo $error['message'];
}
mkdir(): No such file or directory
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have to finish this application by Thursday - and this file upload part is the last bit!
Thank you!
PHP can't find directory in which you want to create other directory.
You need to set $recursive param as true:
mkdir($thepath, 0777, true);
Maybe you want to try mkdir($path,$mode,true) to create missing links as well?
I am trying to upload my php project into public server.
I made the image upload file when I create product or edit product.
It works in localhost, but when I move to public server, it is not working.
I think move_uploaded_file part does not working.
How can I change the link? or do I have to change anything?
When I see Filzilla, I can see remote site that it is '/www/eshopProject/inventory_images'.
And index file is '/www/eshopProject/storeAdmin'.
Do I have to change link like this?
I don't know how can I change the link.
Could you help me? uploading the image into public server is not working..
Is it any security issue? or something?
Please help me. Thanks.
--index.php--
$pid = mysql_insert_id();
//Place image in the folder
$newname = "$pid.jpg";
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['fileField']['tmp_name'], "../inventory_images/product_$newname");
First of all check the permissions of the directory as mentioned in come of the comments.
If you have shell access "chmod 777 target_dir" or "chmod 707 target_dir" should be sufficient.
Second try to debug it using if's and the file_exists function(http://php.net/manual/en/function.file-exists.php).
Something like this.
$uploadedFile = $_FILES['fileField']['tmp_name'];
$destination = "../inventory_images/product_$newname";
if(file_exists($uploadedFile))
{
echo "file uploaded to temp dir";
}
else
{
echo "file upload failed";
exit();
}
if(move_uploaded_file($uploadedFile, $destination))
{
echo "upload complete";
}
else
{
echo "move_uploaded_file failed";
exit();
}
You can also check your current working directory by using the FILE or DIR constants(http://php.net/manual/en/language.constants.predefined.php).
Try this.
echo __FILE__;
echo dirname(__FILE__);
echo __DIR__;
Use the copy() method. For me it worked.
copy($tmp_file, Destination) or
copy($tmp_image, IMAGE_DIRECTORY . SAM . $product_image);
Make sure you have write file permissions set to the folder you are trying to upload too.
I recommend setting the folders to "755" permissions and retry. This would make the permissions a little tighter.
This question is a bit old but i recently faced a similar issue where even with permission 777 on the upload folder it wouldn't work.
The issue was that the SELinux (https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SELinux) was on enforcing mode so i had to change it to permissive mode and then the upload works perfectly.
I hope this can help someone facing this issue.
my code keeps on saying that the folder does not exist though it should be checked by the mkdir function..it creates the folder but does not go through the uploading process.. and displays the error on the couldnt find the folder.. is the algorithm correct? please help.. Your advice will help! :)
here is the code..
if(!(file_exists($target_path)))
{
if(!mkdir($target_path, 0777, TRUE))
{
die ("could not create the folder on mkdir");
}
//in this line the error occurs..printing what is below..//
die ("could not find folder on file exists");
}
else
{
umask($target_path);
...
}
file_exists() routine requires the complete path to file like
/var/www/uploads/file1.c
so the
file_exists($target_path);
call is ok . but second call to make directory, ie,
mkdir()
is requiring an directory , not an path to an file ie, it require /var/www/upload part only .
so you can remove the basename from path name and apply it to mkdir function()
try..
if(file_exists($target_path) && is_dir($target_path)){ //rest of the code...
}
instead of...
if(!(file_exists($target_path))){
}
Hope this will do something for you...
...............................
one thing more...
i think the problem is with if(!(file_exists($target_path))){} Statement,
THIS SHOULD BE...
if(!file_exists($target_path)){}
during the file upload process, your file saving path in move_uploaded_file()
function may be creating problem. I am saying may be because your given code is not clear enough to me. Second parameter of move_uploaded_file() is the destination where first parameter is the file name. please check the value of $target_path, it may solve your problem. thank you.
I'm having problems deleting a file from a higher directory, I found this post and tried it but no luck....:

To anyone who's had a problem with the
permissions denied error, it's
sometimes caused when you try to
delete a file that's in a folder
higher in the hierarchy to your
working directory (i.e. when trying to
delete a path that starts with "../").
So to work around this problem, you
can use chdir() to change the working
directory to the folder where the file
you want to unlink is located.
<?php
> $old = getcwd(); // Save the current directory
> chdir($path_to_file);
> unlink($filename);
> chdir($old); // Restore the old working directory ?>
here is the code that I currently have:
session_start();
if (!isset($_SESSION['agent']) OR ($_SESSION['agent'] !=md5($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']))){
require_once ('includes/login_functions.inc.php');
$url = absolute_url();
header("Location: $url");
exit();
}
$folder = $_GET['folder'];
$filename = $_GET['name'];
$path = "../gallery/photos/$folder";
if (isset($_POST['submitted'])) {
if ($_POST['sure'] == 'Yes') {
$old = getcwd(); // Save the current directory
chdir($path);
unlink($filename);
chdir($old); // Restore the old working directory
}
else{
echo '<p>The photo has NOT been deleted.</p>';
}
}
I'm getting the error message :
Warning: unlink() [function.unlink]:
No error in
J:\xampp\htdocs\bunker\admin\delete_file.php
on line 37
line 37 being:
unlink($filename);
can anybody see what I've done wrong?
I always use absolute filepath names.
I'd define the filedir as a constant in your config, then concatenate so you have an absolute filepath, then make a call to unlink().
Btw: I hope you know your code is highly insecure.

Though I wouldnt recommend doing this, as per the comments above. Is there the option for a different approach?
