Description: ------------ Dear Toby! I had some problems with the recursive part of the mkdir method. The main problem was that the last directory in the path was not created. Example: /htdocs/test/test2/test3 All directorys except "test3" were created. The source of the problem is the while-loop, where all parts putted in an array called $elements. You have the put the last directory in the $elements-array. 42 while (false !== ($pos = strpos($dir, '/', $pos + 1))){ 43 $elements[] = substr($dir, 0, $pos); 44 } 45 $elements[] = $dir; The other problem was that mkdir return with an pear error object if any error was indicated. That's not a good solve, so an error is also present if an directory exists and mkdir want to create it. I think if an error is present and the reason of error is not the last directory, so you have ignore this. The following code solve this problem. 46 foreach ($elements as $element){ 47 $res = $this->mkdir($element, false); 48 if($elements[count($elements)-1] == $element && $res !== true) { 49 return $res; 50 } 51 } I hope it helps. Regards, Enrico Reproduce code: --------------- 23 function mkdir($dir, $recursive = false) 24 { 25 $dir = $this->_construct_path($dir); 26 if ($this->pwd() == $dir) { 27 return true; 28 } 29 if ($recursive === false){ 30 $res = @ftp_mkdir($this->_handle, $dir); 31 if (!$res) { 32 return $this->raiseError("Creation of '$dir' failed", NET_FTP_ERR_CREATEDIR_FAILED); 33 } else { 34 return true; 35 } 36 } else { 37 $pos = 0; 38 if(strpos($dir, '/') === false) { 39 return $this->mkdir($dir,false); 40 } 41 $elements = array(); 42 while (false !== ($pos = strpos($dir, '/', $pos + 1))){ 43 $elements[] = substr($dir, 0, $pos); 44 } 45 $elements[] = $dir; 46 foreach ($elements as $element){ 47 $res = $this->mkdir($element, false); 48 if($elements[count($elements)-1] == $element && $res !== true) { 49 return $res; 50 } 51 } 52 return true; 53 } 54 }
