replace folder

Hello,

i am using the following line of code to create new directories for every course in a .xml file

Code:

---

mkdir("C:\arxeio\-Lesson id-$cid", 0700);

---

once the directory is beeing created how can i replace it in order not to get the following warning

Code:

---

Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: File exists in C:\xampp\htdocs\thalis\arxeiothetisis.php on line 33

---

I am working with PHP5

Thanks

if the directory already exists, why do you want to replace it? just check to see if it exists, and if it does, skip it.

How can i skip it?:confused:

in your loop you just need to check if it exists before you create it, then just don't call mkdir() if it's already there.. you can use is_dir() to check whether or not a directory already exists. it will return false if it doesn't exist or if it isn't a directory. it will return true if it does exist and is a directory.
