MAKE-PATH.PHP

Allows for the creation of complete paths in Linux. In order to create /dir/subdir1/subdir2 using the mkdir() function, /dir/subdir1 must already exist. In this case, make_path() creates /dir, if this one does not exist already, then does the same for /dir/subdir1, and /dir/subdir1/subdir2.

<?
function make_path($path)
         {
         $next_slash = strpos($path, '/');

         do {
            $sub_path = substr($path, 0, $next_slash);

            if(is_dir($sub_path) == false)
               mkdir($sub_path);

            $next_slash = strpos($path, '/', $next_slash + 1);
            }
         while($next_slash != false);
         }
?>
