Im looking for an script that will take an form input text field...,
to create an folder on my server with that entered text, copy the
contents of an seperate folder to that new folder, and set chmod 777
to several text files located in the new folder.

Searching around I found script that can copy folders from one server
to another, but renaming, and setting chmod is something also needed.

I would be happy to tackle this for you but I need to understand
exactly what you want, and what programming language you will accept
for the answer.

First, as to what you want, this page should:

1. Accept a text input field;

2. Create a folder with the name the user enters in that field, within
a special parent folder for this purpose I assume, without allowing
the user to hack the system by entering ../ or similar paths that
would access the rest of the file system;

3. Copy the contents of a separate folder (what separate folder?
Specified how? By the user? Or always the same one, hard-coded in the
script?) into this new folder;

4. Set "chmod 777" on all files copied to the new folder.

Second, as to what you will accept, you haven't specified whether you
require a specific programming language to be used. I could do this
job for $10 as a Perl CGI program, because I can work quickly in that
language.

Thank you for the clarification!

Perl CGI program is fine and would be accepted
wow if you can complete the scriptplus to do the following:

points you mentioned 
1. - yes
2. - yes
3. always the same one, hard-coded in the script.
example: http://domain.com/text-field-input-here/
4. chmod 777 to all text files in one specific folder.
example: http://domain.com/text-field-input-here/update/text/
---done----
Although not mentioned in original post, I need to request actions. 
I would have added this in the initial question however, describing it
did not make much sense to me. My perl knowledge is limited to posting
to an .txt file and retrieving.
And I will surely repost my question adding 10 to the list price.
So here it goes...

The text field entered from the form, I would like it place inside an
cookie (php),
this cookie script is in the html of index.php file of the new folder.
example:
http://domain.com/text-field-input-here/index.php
the cookie...
<?php
   // This cookie expire at midnight, May 15, 2007
   setcookie( "testcookie", "text-field-input-here", mktime(0, 0, 0,
5, 15, 2007) );
 setcookie( "testcookie-email", "text-field-input-here@domain.com",
mktime(0, 0, 0, 5, 15, 2007) );
?>

placing cookie...
<?php
echo "$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[testcookie]";
echo "$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[testcookie-email]";
?>

###
note
The text field.
I have an ecommerce website, and my customer does initially name this new folder.
The name is input as an product option before adding item to the shopping cart.
Our shopping cart is made in cgi.
example:
shop/USA/cart.cgi
shop/USA/cartconfig.cgi
Is it at all possible to start here?
