It all seems to have come right now. I scraped together various
bits from books to make this -
<?
session_start();
print("$username<br>");
if (!is_dir($username))
{
// create the directory and put the file into this directory;
$oldumask=umask(0);
mkdir($username, 0777) or die ("Could not make directory");
umask($oldumask);
chdir($username);
copy ($file, "$file_name");
print("\$username - $username after mkdir <br>\$file_name -
$file_name<br>");
}
else
{
// put the file into this directory;
chdir($username);
copy ($file, "$file_name");
print("\$username Just the copying - $username<br>\$file_name -
$file_name<br>");
}
print("\$username - $username<br>");
include("control.php");
?>
Ho-hum, another one for the code library - but I feel I ought to
have worked it out myself. Ah, computers! - who needs 'em?
Thanx to you, Dave, for helping me along the way.
