long file or folder names like "Program files" have equivalent short names. It is most probably "c:\progra~1" for "C:\Program Files". To see the short name, right click on the folder or file and in the properties, check the MS-DOS name.
so your path can be like "C:/progra~1/apache~1/htdocs/abc.txt" regds, -----Original Message----- From: Aidal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 10, 2002 13:48 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP-WIN] Creating files with PHP - need help If I use full path I get in trouble with spaces in the path like "c:\program files\Apache ...", in this case the path would be "c:\program" due to the space in the path. Of cause I could make a new dir on C like "c:\articles" to work around this, but if I could get the files into a sub folder of http-server-root that would be prefered.

When you refer to a ROOT; to create a file, you are not referring to the MACHINE's root, but to the FILE SYSTEM ROOT. That is why the file goes to HTDOCS. Try creating the file using an ABSOLUTE PATH, e.g "c:\Docs\example-dir\54.txt" Regards, Luis ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sviss" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 08, 2002 9:46 PM Subject: [PHP-WIN] Creating files with PHP - need help > Hi NG. > > I'm having problems creating files at a certain location. > If I attemt to create a file it gets created in the rootdir (htdocs) even > though I add a path infront of the file name.
