I'm writing a basic file upload script, and I've hit a snag.

I want the user to be able to create their own directories, and let them upload to those directories. I'm having problems figuring out how to get the script to switch to that directory to when uploading the file.

I have www.host.com/ga llery/includes/ upload.php

It currently uploads everything to the /includes dir. I want it to upload the files to

www.host.com/ga llery/user

but I can't seem to get it to recurse to the user dir. All I get are errors.

I've tried lots of different methods and they all give me errors.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Feel free to kick me if I get annoying

Can't you just specify the path based on the username (insert the username variable as the name for the folder) whenever you move_uploaded_f ile()?

Code:

$uploaddir = $_SERVER['DOCU MENT_ROOT'].& quot;/gallery/ ".$usernam e."/&quo t;;

//Copy the file to the location...
if(move_uploade d_file($_FILES[ "userfile "][" ;tmp_name" ;], $uploaddir)) {
echo "File uploaded!" ;;
} else {
echo "There was a problem when uploding the new file.";
print_r($_FILES ); //displays variable info.
}

edit: Also, if they want to create a directory, just use the directory name as a text field on a form. Run it through the junk array so you don't allow crap and weed out potential errors. Then use mkdir to create the directory... and when you move_uploaded_f ile tack on the variable for the directory they want onto your $uploaddir.

Code:

$uploaddir = $_SERVER['DOCU MENT_ROOT'].& quot;/gallery/ ".$usernam e."/&quo t;;

That's pretty much what I have, only I forgot the periods around the variable. It'll go to the "gallery " folder but it wouldn't go any further than that, totally ignoring the fact that I even put the variable in there. I'll give it a try.
