Anyone know how to create automatic download using CURL and creating a new folder every day???

I want to save a zip file daily. The file is named the same thing
each day so I would like to create a folder and name it with today's
date and then save the zip file into that folder.

I'm using this code and can't seem to figure out how to create the new
folder and save the file there.
Any help is appreciated!

$todays_date = date("Ymd");

$fp = fopen (dirname(__FILE__) . '/file.zip', 'w+');//This is the file
where we save the information
$ch = curl_init('http://www.downloadhere.com/file.zip');//Here is the
file we are downloading
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 50);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);

So each day I should have something like 20070807\file.zip.

Any help on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.


THANKS!

You have to create the directory before downloading and change
filename constuction:
$dirname = dirname(__FILE__) . '/' . date("Ymd");
mkdir($dirname);
$filename = $dirname . '/file.zip';
$fp = fopen($filename, 'w+);
....

You must have permsissions to create directories and files under
dirname(__FILE__) directory, of course;
