Upload to sub-folders…

There is something called a mkdir() command in PHP but to use it, you have to be the owner of files, that is, you cannot use it on a shared server or when PHP is running in safe mode. Hence, its better to use PHP’s FTP function to create the directory and then move the file uploaded there using FTP (because PHP’s move property will not work in safe mode or on a shared server). The code is as follows:
<?php
// create directory through FTP connection
function FtpMkdir($path, $newDir) {
$server='ftp.yourserver.com'; // ftp server
$connection = ftp_connect($server); // connection

// login to ftp server
$user = "me";
$pass = "password";
$result = ftp_login($connection, $user, $pass);
// check if connection was made
if ((!$connection) || (!$result)) {
return false;
exit();
} else {
ftp_chdir($connection, $path); // go to destination dir
if(ftp_mkdir($connection,$newDir)) { // create directory
return $newDir;
} else {
return false;
}
ftp_close($conn_id); // close connection
}
}
?>
A similar code can be written for moving the uploaded file though some values are needed from upload.php to do so. I guess, hacking upload.php would be the best option. May be somebody will do the dirty work or I may do it sometime late next month (since I am down with school work now)…
