cant you create the folder using php and then copy the contents (files) to the newly created folder? eg: $uploaddir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/mydir/''; if(!is_dir($uploaddir)) { $old = umask(0); mkdir($uploaddir, 0777); umask($old); } $uploadfile = $uploaddir . $_FILES['userfile']['name']; $uploadfileDB = $_FILES['userfile']['name']; if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) { echo ("<font face=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold> File is valid, and was successfully uploaded. </font>"); } not sure if this is what your looking for??? hope this helps ANgelo >>> "Scott Fletcher" <scott@xxxxxxxxx> 11/16/2004 12:53:28 AM >>> Um, look like I'm going to have to write a JAVA programming and have a couple of friends to come to help me out with it. Suck though! So, applets it is... Zip it up, that gonna be tought because of lack of good cross-platform support. We have Robo-Help for Windows, since windows zip only work for windows then I http it over to AIX and have php extract it. So, does the GNU zip work for that or not? Probably not too well. So, applet is the way to go. It will also help me to avoid the need for the su or sudo command cause it doesn't work through Apache account too well.
