Registration With Folder Copy

Hmm.. it might seem a bit naive of me, but does anyone know of a script that's out there that will allow users to register, and then once they're registered, automatically create them a "home" directory with predefinied initial contents?

As in...
When a user registers, a folder containing an image upload script is copied to their "home" folder, and they, on their user page, are transferred to that script for image uploads....

It seems almost like a combination of three scripts... I already have the image upload one written.

use the mkdir(); function.. something like

PHP:

<?php
mkdir ("/$username", 0777);
?>

and then use fwrite() to create the file

I just searched and came up with this thread, expanding on the above, how would you limit the users to a certain amount of space. For example, say I wanted to limit each new folder to 1mb.

Well, where is it?

Well before your script actually goes through with the users' request, if the request will take up space, then run a check for how much the user has used:

PHP:

<?php

$dir = "."; //Change of course
$dp = opendir($dir);
while($file = readdir($dp))
{
    if($file != "." && $file != "..")
    {
         $folderuse = $folderuse + filesize($file);
    }
}
closedir($dp);
if($folderuse >= 1000000)  //Remember....this is always in BYTES!
{
    //Sorry! Over 1 meg!
}
else
{
    //Go on...
}

?>

The script there has a problem though....it doesn't check whether the action the user is about to take could go over 1 meg. If it's an upload, just do something like:

$folderuse = $folderuse + $_FILES['file']['filesize']

And run the check.
