This is the directory all my files are: C:/xampp/htdocs/asweb
And this is where I want to keep the new directory: C:/xampp/htdocs/asweb/userdata/profile_pics
I just tested the following:
$chars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789";
$rand_dir_name = substr(str_shuffle($chars), 0, 15);
echo $rand_dir_name.$b; // ojTxNHb0RuiyKze
mkdir("c:\\dev\\".$rand_dir_name,0777,TRUE);
It made c:\dev\ojTxNHb0RuiyKze
no problem. I went in there and saved a text file.
The Manual page says
mode
The mode is 0777 by default, which means the widest possible access. For more information on modes, read the details on the chmod() page.
Note: mode is ignored on Windows. Note that you probably want to specify the mode as an octal number, which means it should have a leading zero. The mode is also modified by the current umask, which you can change using umask().
However on linux, have it follow chmod values.
$chars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789";
$rand_dir_name = substr(str_shuffle($chars), 0, 15);
echo $rand_dir_name.$b; // l1TGXW3kgQcr2N5
mkdir("C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\asweb\\userdata\\profile_pics\\".$rand_dir_name,0777,TRUE);
made C:\xampp\htdocs\asweb\userdata\profile_pics\l1TGXW3kgQcr2N5
no problem
