There a couple of notes about this script though:
This script offers absolutely no security features. This means that if made publicly available, anyone on the internet could create new directories on your server. You need to protect yourself by placing this script in a private or password protected directory on your server.
If used on a unix/linux machine, the new folders will be owned by the server and not the account owner because the directory was actually created by the server!
You must create the parent before the child! if you want /images/icons, you must either create /images first or is must already exist on the server!
By modifying the configuration section of the script, you can make the scripts default values match your environment which will make the script easier to use.
There is one thing that I request:
Please leave the entire build_input_field function section of the script intact. It offers great flexability if use correctly and shouldn't require any modification for inclusion in any script. It is a function that I personally wrote and made publicly available to everyone to use. For more information about this and other functions I have written, please visit Handy PHP. Basically, if you want to use this function or redistribute it, leave it intact with the credit header. However, if this function inspires you to rewrite or recreate a function that performs the same task, I welcome you to do so.
I'll keep you posted as to the developement of an FTP version of this script via this topic.
