Answered mkdir with userid

I'm new to php and have successfully created a directory with a name but i am trying to figure out how to do it using the modx.user.id as the folder name.
this is to be a hook for formit with ajaxupload where it creates a directory if it doesn't exist then on submit of the form puts the image in that directory

mkdir("./assets/images/users/2345", 0755);

if i try to use the[[!+modx.user.id]] it creates a folder named [[+modx.user.id]] and if you click on the folder it creates another folder endlessly.

ultimately what I'm trying to do is check if the folder exists and if it does, do nothing else mkdir

any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

If it's the current user you're doing this for, this should work:

/* Path of containing folder - make sure it ends in a trailing slash */
$path = MODX_ASSETS_PATH . 'myDirs/'; 
$id = $modx->user->get('id');

if (! is_dir($path . $id)) {
    mkdir($path . $id);
}

Thanks Again Bob... works in creating the folder and it uploads the image in the folder but if you go back and edit the form and try and resubmit it won't complete and the log file says:

[2014-01-02 18:41:45] (ERROR @ /paas/c0944/www/core/cache/includes/elements/modsnippet/47.include.cache.php : 39) PHP warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, integer given

If i remove the snippet from the hook it works as it should
Any idea how to correct this?

Does the hook end with this?



What snippet has the ID of 47? You need to find out where in_array() is being called (it should be around lines 30-40 of that snippet) and where the second argument comes from.

return true;
