Question

I need to know if there is any way to create new folder if the path doesn’t exist. When I try to fopen() a path, it says NO such File or Directory exists I tried to open the file using ‘w’ and ‘w+’ but it is not able to create new folder. Is there any way to achieve it without using mkdir(). Because I need to extract the directory names alone from the path to mkdir() everytime. Any help is appreciated. Thanks…

fopen cannot create directories.

You’ll need to use something like:

$filename = '/path/to/some/file.txt';
$dirname = dirname($filename);
if (!is_dir($dirname))
{
    mkdir($dirname, 0755, true);
}
