Getting a dynamically created folder name using mkdir() in PHP

I am dynamically creating folders for each user in my php file with 

mkdir("Userfiles/".$company."_".$time_stamp);

I want to save that directory in a variable or any other and I have to use the directory name for saving my .txt files in it

$myFile = "exfiles/".str_replace(" ","-",$_POST['company'])."_CC Booth furnishings ".$order_type."_".$time_stamp.".txt";

In the place of 'exfiles' I need to give the dynamically created directory name. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Solution 
  • $dirname = "Userfiles/".$company."_".$time_stamp;
mkdir($dirname);
$myFile = $dirname . str_replace(" ","-",$_POST['company'])."_CC Booth furnishings ".$order_type."_".$time_stamp.".txt";

    As stated in the comments of your question:

    Don't use $_POST data directly to manipulate files on the server. Always sanitize it
