[RESOLVED] writing to directories

[ninjanutz]

i have my script set up so that everyone who registers is added to the users txt file and a directory folder is created for them

how can i make th created directories with writing permissions so i can have it write the user and pass to the users.txt and write the first name last name and email to the directory folder?

<?php

switch (@$_GET['step']) {

case "2":

//replace username and password with your mysql name and password
$conn = mysql_connect("localhost","Admin","blah"); #STICK YOUR OWN GODDAMN INFO IN HERE Example: mysql_connect("localost","Admin","yeah");

//select the database
$db = mysql_select_db("donald_duck"); #put db there

//insert the values

#Check to see if username is in use
$sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = \"$_POST[usrname]\"";
$inuse = mysql_query($sql) 
    or die(mysql_error());
    $check = @mysql_fetch_array($inuse);
  if($check["username"] == NULL) {

    $result= MYSQL_QUERY("INSERT INTO users (id, username, password)".
"VALUES ('NULL', '$_POST[usrname]', '$_POST[password]')");
      mkdir("$_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT]/$_POST[usrname]", 0777);
      echo("
        $_POST[usrname] has been successfully added.<br><br>
<b>Username:</b> $_POST[usrname]<br>
<b>Password:</b> $_POST[password]<br>
if you are a team member you will have access to
$_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT]/$_POST[usrname]");

  }
  else {
    echo("
        <center> Sorry, but that name is already in use. <font size=2 face=verdana><b><br>Go <a href=signup.php>back</a> and try again</font></b></center>
    ");
  }

   break; default:
echo"<form action=signup_en.php?step=2 method=post>

only problem with that is my servers so bootleg it supports php but not MySQL

[ninjanutz]

my script does give them the folder though for all their stuff but i cant get that folder to be written in im guessing it would ahve to make a txt in the folder inorder tow rite cause ive never opened a folder and seen writing lol

[PlaGuE]

OooOo... if your host cant support mysql i'd try a friend of mine... at MyAtom.net. He build his own database. called Atom_DB. its a text file system. and just as powerful. When you msg him. Tell him PlaGuE sent you. oh and btw... im a team member of myatom.net

[ninjanutz]

ok but anyway even though my server doesnt support MySQL my computer does but i have a program called xampp that came with php 5 and mysql and a few other things in 1 and i dont no where to go to set the password for the MySQL user nor do i no how to make a new account for it. could u help me out?

[ninjanutz]
