generate static html

create file fails if subfolder

[jamie]

hi,

i am using the following code to generate static html pages in the /static_html/ folder.

// write to static_html
$data = $complete_page;
$file = $include_path . 'htdocs/static_html' . $static_page;
if (!$file_handle = fopen($file,"a")) {
exit("Cannot open file");
}
if (!fwrite($file_handle, $data)) {
exit("write to file");
}
fclose($file_handle);

static_html is owned by nobody.nobody and is chmod 755.

single path files are generated perfectly - e.g. /mypage.html.

but when i try to generate /subfolder/mypage.html it dies with error message saying Warning: No such file or directory

i have tried chmod 777 but still doesn't work.

should i create these directories manually beforehand? or is there a way around?

many thanks!

(edited for clarity)

You'll nedd to create the directory beforehand. Try mkdir()

Also worthwhile finding out if your host has PHP safe mode switched on, which disables directory writing for 'security' reasons.

thanks johannes!

great help. i can now loop through creating as many subdirectories as needed according to my script_url

cheers

p.s. jetboy - it's our own server, but thanks for input :-)
