RE: I'm pretty sure

in the action script of the user sign up form place this code after the users been add to the DB or something

php Code:

Original - php Code
mkdir($_POST['username'], 7777);

 
mkdir($_POST['username'], 7777);

if you need any file use this

php Code:

Original - php Code
$file = fopen($_POST['username'].'/filename.ext','w'); fwrite($file, 'the contents of the file'); fclose($file);

 
$file = fopen($_POST['username'].'/filename.ext','w');
fwrite($file, 'the contents of the file');
fclose($file);

ok?

RE: I'm pretty sure

Hey, I'm alittle confused about the second PHP bit

php Code:

Original - php Code
$file = fopen($_POST['username'].'/filename.ext','w'); fwrite($file, 'the contents of the file'); fclose($file); ?>

$file = fopen($_POST['username'].'/filename.ext','w');
fwrite($file, 'the contents of the file');
fclose($file);
?>

please can you explain what this is, what it does, and where do I put it on the page.

RE: I'm pretty sure

php Code:

Original - php Code
<?php $file = fopen($_POST['username'].'/filename.ext','w'); // open a link to a non-existant file. the one you MIGHT want to create fwrite($file, 'the contents of the file'); // write to this non-existant file, which will now exist fclose($file); // close the link

 
<?php
$file = fopen($_POST['username'].'/filename.ext','w');
// open a link to a non-existant file. the one you MIGHT want to create
fwrite($file, 'the contents of the file');
