Don't create directory if it already exists in php
I use the following to create a directory on an intranet application for each client. The problem is, if the directory already exists, I get the error:
Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: File exists in C:\server2go\server2go\htdocs\customermgr\administrator\components\com_chronoforms\form_actions\custo m_code\custom_code.php(18) : eval()'d code on line 11
Failed to create directory...
Is it possible that the script does not create the directory if it already exists? Or that or does not show an error ?.
<?php
$customerID = $_GET['cfid'];
/* wherever this particular script will be installed, I want to create a subfolder */
/* Step 1. I need to know the absolute path to where I am now, ie where this script is running from...*/
$thisdir = getcwd();
/* Step 2. From this folder, I want to create a subfolder called "myfiles". Also, I want to try and make this folder world-writable (CHMOD 0777). Tell me if success or failure... */
if(mkdir($thisdir ."/customer-files/$customerID" , 0777))
{
echo "Directory has been created successfully...";
}
else
{
echo "Failed to create directory...";
}
?>

I tried the following but still no joy: - (
<?php
$customerID = $_GET['cfid'];
$directory = "/customer-files/$customerID";
if(file_exists($directory) && is_dir($directory)) {
}
else {
/* wherever this particular script will be installed, I want to create a subfolder */
/* Step 1. I need to know the absolute path to where I am now, ie where this script is running from...*/
$thisdir = getcwd();
/* Step 2. From this folder, I want to create a subfolder called "myfiles". Also, I want to try and make this folder world-writable (CHMOD 0777). Tell me if success or failure... */
if(mkdir($thisdir ."/customer-files/$customerID" , 0777))
{
echo "Directory has been created successfully...";
}
else
{
echo "Failed to create directory...";
} }
?>
