How to tell php to create a directory and another directory inside that one

Question

How do I tell php to create a directory and then another directory inside that directory?

I'm using mkdir here. I have a folder called images. I need to create a folder inside images called 'user', then a folder under user called '15'. I can create the folder called user in one go. How can I do both together?

Answer 1

Yes, you can pass the recursive parameter as true;

mkdir('images/user/15', 0777, true);

Answer 2

Use the recursive flag of mkdir function

The function signature is:

bool mkdir ( string $pathname [, int $mode = 0777 [, bool $recursive = false [, resource $context ]]] )

So use it like so

mkdir('images/user/15',0777,true);

Though it is also advisable not to use 777 mode, but that is another matter.
