User TrentTompkins provides a workaround function at: http://php.osmirror.nl/manual/de/function.file-put-contents.php#84180 And everyone can built similar workarounds. But as originally said, it would be nice if this feature would be included in PHP's built-in file and directory functions. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-05-26 22:20:30] stefan-nowak-php at mailinator dot com Description: ------------ It would be nice if all/some of PHP's file and directory functions would offer a flag AUTO_CREATE_DIRS, which would then cause these functions to automatically create directories for the given filepath, which yet don't exist. Many shell tools allow similar functionality (i.e: mkdir -p) Reproduce code: --------------- file_put_contents ( "/existing-dir/not-yet-existing-dir/file", "test"); // Warning: file_put_contents (existing-dir/not-yet-existing-dir/file): failed to open stream: No such file or directory Expected result: ---------------- file_put_contents ( "/existing-dir/not-yet-existing- dir/sub1/sub2/file.txt", "test", AUTO_CREATE_DIR); // If my sugestion would be implemented I would then expect PHP to automatically create the directories: // not-yet-existing-dir , sub1, sub2 // and the file: // file.txt ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48401&edit=1
