SEO optimization help

[daxguy]

i have a random no. of directories and files being created using the mkdir and touch functions and the newly created files are copying a pre-made template.. the links of the pages which were being created had %20 signs between the spaces.. i wanted to change them with "-" soo i used the following code.. but it gives errors.. as invalid arguments in mkdir and touch and as well as copy function

 

can anyone help?

here is the code

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result1) )
						 {

							$hosting = explode(',', $row['host']);		
							$linking = explode(',', $row['links']);
							$parts = explode(',', $row['link_no']);
							$no_host = count($hosting); //miniusing the no of loops to make it accurate
							$count_host = count($hosting);
							$count_links = count($parts);
							$current_k = 0;									
							$sum = 0;
							$parts_href = '';
							$new = null;
							$updated_part = null;
							for($i=0; $i<($count_host-1); $i++ )
							{
								$j = $i+1;
								$hos = str_replace(":","",$hosting[$i]);
								$path = "$base_folder/{$hos}";

         							echo "<br />{$hos}";
								echo "<br />{$path}";

								mkdir($path);


								for($k=$current_k; $k<($count_links); $k++)
								{
									for($f=0; $f<$parts[$current_k]; $f++ )
									{
										$for_touch = "$base_folder/{$hos}/".$linking[$sum].".php";
										$for_touch = str_replace(" ","-",$for_touch);
										touch("$for_touch");
										$new_seo = "{$part_href}/{$hos}/".$linking[$sum].".php";
										$new_seo = str_replace(" ","-",$new_seo);
									    $new = "$new_seo";
											$updated_part = $updated_part.$new;
										$updated_part = $updated_part.",";
										//copy function
										$old_file = "$for_touch";
										$new_file = "{$part_page}/part".$sum.".php";
										$new_file = str_replace(" ","-",$new_file);
										$new_file = "$new_file";
										copy($new_file,$old_file);
										$sum++;	

									}
									$query_href = 'update movies set href_parts = \''.$updated_part.'\'';
										mysql_query($query_href) or die('COULD NOT EXECUTE THE QUERY FOR PARTS HREF');											
										echo "<br />{$updated_part}";
									$sum = $sum;

Could you post more information about the actual data (echo it out) you're passing to the functions, and the errors you're getting..?

[daxguy]

These are the errors

Warning: touch() [function.touch]: Unable to create file C:/xampp/htdocs/gl/uploads/movies/2010/08/I-Hate-Luv-Storys-2010-Hindi-Movie-Watch/Dailymotions-Video-Link--Alternative-Link-/I-Hate-Luv-Storys-2010-Hindi-Movie-Watch-Part-1.php because No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\gl\movie_process.php on line 197

Okay well looking at the code I'm going to guess that 1 or more of the paths you're trying to create don't have parent directories. Try passing the recursive parameter to mkdir and see if that fixes the problem.

[daxguy]

it doesnt..
