Using absolute path for fopen and mkdir - HOW?

I know by default you can not use an absolute path when using fopen and mkdir, but in my case I really need to specify the exact location of the files/directories.

I KNOW there must be some workaround way to do this... does anyone know how?

For example, here is what I am using now:

$path = "../../logs/".date("Y")."/".date("m"); 
$filename = date("M.d.Y").".txt";

	$openfile = fopen($path."/".$filename, 'a');
	fwrite($openfile, $logcontent);
	fclose($openfile);	

PHP:

This is working, but I need to do something like:

$path = "http://www.mydomain.com/logs/".date("Y")."/".date("m"); 

PHP:

ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!

 

i think that you really need to specify the path... you cannot access the raw file or the dir if you are using http://, clarify your thoughts on using http or https, its a request to the server, and gives you a html response. it will not show up like you opened an windows explorer or what ever. all http/s are CLIENT response. you can use it under.

 

you can not use fwrite with an URL path "http://xxx.com/file.php" you can use fwrite with absolute physical path of the file .. e.g. "/home/www/file.php" or relative path to the script like "../file.php".

If you would able to do what you want to do.. imagine that everybody could alter everybody's files in the world... which is not normal.

I hope this helps

 

You could try it this way.

$path = dirname(__FILE__) . '/logs/".date("Y")."/".date("m");
