need help with my phpupload script

surely calling the select $directory as well will effectively overwrite the input text with ""

try naming the text field name="make_directory"

then

Code: Select all

$dir = $_POST['directory'];
if($_POST['make_directory'] !== "")
 {
 mkdir('./projects/' .$_POST['make_directory'],0755);
 $dir = $_POST['make_directory'];
 }

so you named the form fields differently?

I presume you've tried echoing the $_POST variables to check they exist?

do a

var_dump($_POST);

you should have a value for 'make_directory' if you typed anything, or a value for 'directory' if you selected something

ok - my codes use reg_globals OFF (which is default since php4.2) - yours use the older approach of accessing post/file/get etc variables through the global scope - eg $varname rather than $_POST['varname'];

either recode the bit I did to use the older method (which undoubtedly will have to be updated as soon as your host switches reg_globals off)

or update all your code bits to access the variables through the $_FILES or $_POST array scopes.
