A Php Question For Professionals!!!

hey how can i create/delete/rename/chmod directories by php. I havent found it anywhere.

Thanks for your helps...

for starters, you chmod it by default when you create it:
mkdir("$new_dir_name", 0755);the number following the directory name is the chmod value and must be four digits.
http://www.php.net/mkdir




to rename:
rename("$dir_name", $new_dir_name);http://www.php.net/rename




to delete:
unlink("$dir_name");the directory must be empty.
http://www.php.net/unlink




to chmod an existing directory:
chmod("$dir_name", 0755)http://www.php.net/chmod




never a trailing slash!

keith i'm not a beginner. I havent been using directories with php, but now i need it.

And i have a question too: How can i retrive the file description on web.
For example my site is: http://cappytoi.host.sk/ and the file is in http://cappytoi.hypermart.net/anything.exe -> and this files description is " hello this is the example description " and i want to write it to the users screen.
Is there anyway to do this?

well now you're talking databases. the most convenient type to write might be flat-file because it probably wouldn't be a massive amount of info stored.

Do it the way i do it. Open them in cuteftp, upload-rename, chmod, etc. by right clicking...
