Creating a Dynamic Directory Folder with PHP

If you have a site with large number of users where they upload pictures or documents or videos, then you should create directories during run-time.

The function 'mkdir' creates a directory in the specified path. The following are the parameters of creating a directory:

1.pathname: Specified path of the directory

2.mode: The default mode is 0777.

Example: Let us create a dynamic directory based on the current date.

function createNewDirectory()
{
    $sCurrDate = date("Y-m-d"); //Current Date
    $sDirPath = 'http://example.com/files/'.$sCurrDate.'/'; //Specified Pathname
    if (!file_exists ($sDirPath))
    {
            mkdir($sDirPath,0777,true);  
        }
}
