cannot make directory at remote host

This work localy but not on my remote host. How can I debug it?

if(!(is_dir('images/$customer_id')))
{
mkdir("images/$customer_id", 0700);

}

The file is in the main public_html folder and there is a images folder.
What should the permissions be?


Thanks

First tip - always use full paths instead of local ones so you know
*exactly* where it's going.

If it goes under the current folder (and I hope you have some basic
checking here somewhere for customer_id):

$customer_id = (int)$customer_id;
if ($customer_id <= 0) {
die("Bad customerid!");
}

$dir = dirname(__FILE__) . '/images/' . $customer_id;

if (!is_dir($dir)) {
mkdir($dir, 0700);
}

Depends on the host (whether they are running php in cgi mode or as an
apache module).

Check if safe-mode is on or off.

Check the parent folder to make sure that the webserver user has write &
execute access to be able to get into the base folder.

display errors and turn error reporting up to work out why it's not working.

Hi,

I can make the files now after setting the permission to my images folder
but I cannot delete the folder or images in it. I have tried unlink and
rmdir with no success. Even with filezilla cannot delete it


The problem seems to be the images that are set to chmod of 600 and cannot
be changed. I upload the file with this

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'][$i], $img_url)

is there a way to set the permissions of the images on upload to anything
other than 600?

R.
