ftp_mkdir() error

[BIOSTALL]

Hey.. I'm tring to create a new folder. The folder name will be dependant upon the user enters. Say the user enters 'banana', I want to create a new folder with desination 'Photos/Live/banana'. But i'm getting this error:

Warning: ftp_mkdir(): Photos/Live/banana: No such file or directory in /home/virtual/site13/fst/var/www/html/AddPhotos.php on line 88

And this is the code i'm using:

$foldername = $_POST['userentry']; 
                        if (!ftp_mkdir($ftp_id, "Photos/Live/$foldername")) { 
                            echo "Cound not create new folder"; 
                            exit(); 
                        }

Anyone please tell me how i may resolve this issue please??

Many thanks, BIOSTALL

The error is saying that the directory "Photos/Live/" does not exist. You need to make sure the parent directory exists.

It does exist... i made it myself and i can view it via my FTP software.

I notice you are using a relative path, is that correct. You may to to chdir or use the absolute path i.e: "Photos/Live/"
