I'm not sure if you need the mode octal in the mkdir funcion in windows.
Anyway I hope you read a comment in the php's online mkdir function manual:
mkdir will create directories with undesired/unexpected owner/group
settings in certain circumstandes when SAFE_MODE is on. See the bug report:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=24604
You might notice that when you create a new directory using this code:
mkdir($dir, 0777);
The created folder actually has permissions of 0755, instead of the
specified
0777. Why is this you ask? Because of umask(): http://www.php.net/umask
The default value of umask, at least on my setup, is 18. Which is 22 octal,
or
0022. This means that when you use mkdir() to CHMOD the created folder to
0777,
PHP takes 0777 and substracts the current value of umask, in our case 0022,
so
the result is 0755 - which is not what you wanted, probably.
The "fix" for this is simple, include this line:
$old_umask = umask(0);
Right before creating a folder with mkdir() to have the actual value you put
be
used as the CHMOD. If you would like to return umask to its original value
when
you're done, use this:
umask($old_umask);

If I understand what you're trying to do correctly, I would have the form
action come back to the same page, where verification is done. At the top,
you could have a big "if the page has been submitted, execute this code"
section where it does verification of the data. If the data is ok, it can
display a simple "Registration Confirmed. Click here to log in." kind of
message, which then takes them on to the next stage (presumably, logging
in). In the form, I would write the form tags like this:
<input type=password name=regpassword value="<?php echo
$_POST['regpassword']; ?>">
<input type=text name=regusername value="<?php echo $_POST['regusername'];
?>">
etc.
If the value is empty, then it just doesn't get filled in (as in the first
iteration through the page). On the second iteration through the page, if
there is an error, it would fill in the values that were originally entered
(you could put some logic in to not fill in certain fields, if you wish) and
the person needs only change the missing or incorrect values with everything
else still filled in.
In order to get the little messages, you could include a variable in your
error-checking section which sets a variable which is read just
above/below/wherever the form fields.
<?php
if($passworderror == 1)
{
echo "<font color=red>Please make sure your password is 6
characters</font>";
}
?>
<input type=password name=regpassword value="<?php echo
$_POST['regpassword']; ?>">
Or something along those lines.
Hopefully I understood what you were asking correctly. :)

I have a file with many functions defined for my use in some applications.
How can I compile them so that I can use it as an PHP extension ? Is that
possible ?
