Question

I need a way in PHP to create some folder if they do not exist.

So the code will have to first read the available folders, if the specific folder does not exist then it should create it.

The logic of the code would be:

$folderName = "user1";

If($folderName exists) {
exit;
}else{
create folder $folderName and chmod 777
}

How would I do it with PHP and Linux server + Apache?

Answer 1

$folderName = "user1";

if ( !file_exists($folderName) ) {
    mkdir($folderName);
}

In if statement we check if folder does not exist (yes – with file_exists function) and if not, we create folder.

777 chmod is by default.
