Need PHP Version

of this ASP script

[5x54u]

I am looking for way to do this with PHP.

Basically I need to, when a new cateogry is created in the db it runs a PHP script that checks to see if dir exists and creates it if not.

Here is an ASP example:

<%
Dim objFSO, objFolder
Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

objFolder = Trim(Request("FN"))

'Create Folder if it doesn't already exist
If Not objFSO.FolderExists("D:\Websites\#*$!xx\Articles\"& objFolder) then
objFSO.CreateFolder("D:\Websites\#*$!xx\Articles\"& objFolder)
End If
%>

THank you for any help

I normally don't answer the "I need a script for this!"-type posts, but I wanted to show you how much simpler PHP is.

<?php
 $Root = "c:\some\dir\";
 $Dir = $_GET['FN'];
 $NewDir = $Root . $Dir;
 if (!is_dir($NewDir) && is_writable($Root))
 {
 mkdir($NewDir);
 }
?>

Just wondering if

$Dir = $_GET['FN'];

would be better as

$Dir = $_REQUEST['FN'];
