Why “is_dir” Function Fails ?

Php Masters,

Below is my code to upload a video file to my mysql tbl.
If user tries uploading wrong type of file then he should get error.
And if he tries uploading a file beyond the allowed limit then too he should get error.
Do you think my code is ok ?

One thing though, I am trying to get the script to upload the user’s video file on this path:
uploads/videos/id_verifications/$user
And so, if the directory does not exist then the script should create it. Else just upload the file to the directory without creating/recreating it.
My code looks like this:

[code]
//Feed Id Verification Video File Upload Directory path.
$directory_path = “uploads/videos/id_verifications/”;
//Make Directory under $user in ‘uploads/videos/id_verifications’ Folder.
if(!is_dir(“$directory_path” . “user”))
{
$mode = “0777”;
mkdir(“$directory_path” . “$user”, $mode, TRUE);
}
[/code]

Problem is, if the directory already exists then I get error which I should not because if the directory exists then the script should just upload it to that directory without creating/recreating it (based on the condition).
Error:
Warning: mkdir(): File exists in C:xampphtdocstextupload_v1.php on line 35

Line 35 is this:

[code]
mkdir(“$directory_path” . “$user”, $mode, TRUE);
[/code]

What is wrong ? Why I get this error ? Not supposed to as the condition states that if the directory does not exist then create it. Else just upload the file to it without creating/recreating it.

Error reporting is in one of the included files and it goes like this:

[code]
<?php

//ERROR REPORTING CODES.
declare(strict_types=1);
ini_set(‘display_errors’, ‘1’);
ini_set(‘display_startup_errors’, ‘1’);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR | MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT);

?>
[/code]

Beats me! Can you figure this thing out ? Any ideas ?

Also in #PHP _↴
