Question

can someone please tell me what I’m doing wrong in this code?

if($id != '') {
    if(is_dir("../public_html".$tem_pasta['path']."/pics/".$id)) {
        echo "pasta já existia";
        $destination_file = "../public_html".$tem_pasta['path']."/pics/".$id."/".$myFileName;
    } else {
        //pasta nao existia
        if (ftp_mkdir($conn_id, "../public_html".$tem_pasta['path']."/pics/".$id)) {
            $destination_file = "../public_html".$tem_pasta['path']."/pics/".$id."/".$myFileName;
        //echo "pasta criada<br>";
        } else {
            echo "erro, não criou a pasta<br>";
        }
    }
} else {
    $destination_file = "../public_html".$tem_pasta['path']."/pics/".$myFileName;
}

it checks if I’ve a folder ($id) within my pics directory, and if not the script creates a new one.
works good, but if I try to upload another file to the previous created folder it does return an error, saying it didn’t create the folder…

thanks

is_dir works only on the local file-system. If you want to check if a ftp-directory already exists try this:

function ftp_is_dir($ftp, $dir)
{
    $pushd = ftp_pwd($ftp);

    if ($pushd !== false && @ftp_chdir($ftp, $dir))
    {
        ftp_chdir($ftp, $pushd);   
        return true;
    }

    return false;
} 

if($id != '') {
    if(ftp_is_dir($conn_id, "../public_html".$tem_pasta['path']."/pics/".$id)) {
    // and so on...
