Error creating folder 'dirname' {Can't create 'dirname' directory}

[SLX]

If in "fckeditor\editor\filemanager\connectors\php\config.php" I set only one directory name above the root, ex.

$Config['UserFilesPath'] = '/userfiles/' ;

I can't do a quick upload a file. Message box say that: "Error creating folder 'userfiles' {Can't create '/userfiles/' directory}"

By using more directories in the path, like:

$Config['UserFilesPath'] = '/userfiles/abc/' ;

the error doesn't show.

I think this is a bug in the file "fckeditor\editor\filemanager\connectors\php\io.php":

101:	// Check if the parent exists, or create it.
102:	if ( !file_exists( $sParent ) )
103:	{
104:		//prevents agains infinite loop when we can't create root folder

This will try to create a directory "" (empty string) if the config has one directory in the path, because the parent is root (/) and cannot be created. So I think it should be modified:

101:	// Check if the parent exists, or create it.
102:	if ( '''!empty($sParent) &&''' !file_exists( $sParent ) )
103:	{
104:		//prevents agains infinite loop when we can't create root folder

After modification the files are uploaded correctly.

Sorry, the new code should look like this:

101:	// Check if the parent exists, or create it.
102:	if ( !empty($sParent) && !file_exists( $sParent ) )
103:	{
104:		//prevents agains infinite loop when we can't create root folder
