I know this may be a silly question but i cant seem to find just a simple answer.

I have a php script that makes a directory for me when the user starts a new entry.
That directory holds photos for their gallery.

What i would like to do is also create One index.html file inside that new directory with a few lines of html code in it.

How do i do this?

Im guessing that the file would be made like so:

mkdir('users/'.$id.'/index.html',0755);

But how do i add the html into that index.html file?

Or do i have one file on the server and copy it over into there during the MKDIR process?

Anyways a really simple answer would be best as i am very slow in this learning thing.

Thank you
John

New edits…..

<?php

$id = 812; 
mkdir('users/'.$id,0755); 
chmod('users/'.$id,0777);

$fh = fopen( "users/".$id, "w+" ) or die( "Couldn't open file" );
fwrite( $fh, "<html><head /><body><h1>It Works!</h1></html>" );
fclose( $fh );

?>

Its giving me this error?

Warning: fopen(users/812) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in stackoverflowtest1.php on line 9
Couldn’t open file

Any ideas? I am on a wamp windows 7 server and not using ftp to edit files but just the www wamp explorer foler.

    I’m not sure which language you are using so you’ll either need to update your question or forgive the lack of concrete code. mkdir is for generating directories and not flat files. To do that you’ll need to open then the file handle then print the HTML lines to that handle and then close it.

    A file handle is a pointer to a file. It allows you to manipulate the data in that file ( i.e. read or write it ).

    example code:

    $fh = fopen( "path/to/file/index.html", "w+" ) or die( "Couldn't open file" );
fwrite( $fh, "<html><head /><body><h1>It Works!</h1></html>" );
fclose( $fh );

    The path to the file needs a file name as a target, sorry that wasn’t clear.
