Question

Let’s say, in PHP, I am trying to put an image in a specific directory that is on root.

I want to put it on /images/afc/esp/stadium/ directory. Images folder, Federation folder, Country ISO3 folder, content folder.

$folder_full = "images/".$getFed."/".$country_folder."/stadiums";
if (!is_dir($folder_full)) mkdir($folder_full);

Before you ask, yes $getFed and $country_folder work and output text. So, then I get this error: Warning: mkdir(): No such file or directory

I don’t get it?

Answer 1

Some of your subdirectories don’t exist so you either need to iteratively create them or set the 3rd argument to mkdir() to true. Note that the second argument are the directory permissions (ignored on Windows) which default to 0777.

You also need to set $folder_full to the root using /.

$folder_full = "/images/{$getFed}/{$country_folder}/stadiums";
if (!is_dir($folder_full)) mkdir($folder_full, 0777, true);
