How to find a reason when mkdir fails from PHP?
You can suppress the warning and make use of error_get_last():
if (!@mkdir($dir)) { $error = error_get_last(); echo $error['message'];}
You could use exceptions:
Setup some code like so:
function exception_error_handler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline ) { throw new ErrorException($errstr, 0, $errno, $errfile, $errline);}set_error_handler("exception_error_handler");And then just do:
try { mkdir('/somedir');} catch(ErrorException $ex) { echo "Error: " . $ex->getMessage();}That should do what you want.
If you want to preserve the php error handler, then after that try catch block, just call:
restore_error_handler()
I use something like the following:
if(! @mkdir('$fileLocation', 0777, $recursive = true)){ $mkdirErrorArray = error_get_last(); throw new Exception('cant create directory ' .$mkdirErrorArray['message'], 1);}
