MkDir PHP problem

[Guest]

I have a simple mkdir script, that creates a directory that contains 3 sub-fodlers, on my server.

The script works fine on my Apache server, however if the directory already exists, an error message should be displayed, but I don't think the script gets that far on my IIS:

// URL
$url = "//Server/Folder1/Folder2/";

// Create It
$create = mkdir("$url");
mkdir("$url/Sub1");
mkdir("$url/Sub2");
mkdir("$url/Sub3");

if ($create) {
  $mess = $ref = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; header( 'refresh: 0; url='.$ref);;
  $query = sprintf("UPDATE tbl_freelancer SET freedir='y' WHERE freeid=%s", GetSQLValueString($colname_rsFreelance_Dir, "int"));
  $result = mysql_query($query, $conndb2) or die(mysql_error());
}
else {
  $mess = "<p>Directory could not be created.</p>";
}

The error (on my IIS server):

PHP Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: File exists  in C:\Web\QT\admin\script.php on line 85

Is there a way of getting this to work?

Before attempting to create a new directory, you should first check to see whether it already exists.

if (!is_dir($url)) {
  mkdir($url);
} else {
  $error = "$url already exists";
}
