Hi, About the three param's that I am using in my code, all of these are meant to be passed on using GET. My problem is that I am not sure if the reason why http://192.168.10.63/file_linux.php?id=123 prints out something like: Cannot create directory Cannot create directory Cannot create directory, since the directory /var/www/html/hello does exist.
If this is a permission problem, then why am I not getting something that says Permission denied? And, would you have suggestions on how I can fix this? I am currently running this on Apache with Linux. Thanks for your help.

The above code does not help you determine whether $id was assigned the value '123'. Did you try to simply print the variable? Since you say that the code works from the command line, I'd suspect that you have a permissions problem, i.e. the web server does not have sufficient permissions to create directories under /var/www/html/hello. -- Gunnar Hjalmarsson Email: http://www.gunnar.cc/cgi-bin/contact.pl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
