Problem: As found in kcfinder's definition I am using this link to open kcfinder:
window.open('/kcfinder/browse.php?type=files&dir=files/public&subDir=/PO/200836', 'kcfinder_textbox',
', width=800, height=600');
In here, I have modified the URL to also include the subdirectory path so that the URL becomes something like this http://192.168.212.200/kcfinder/browse.php?type=files&dir=files/public&subDir=/PO/200836 .
The subDir part has the directory name to be set to (and created if not exists). In the config.php I already have a directory set to be the root. So if the subDir is provided it will create the subDir inside the root of config.php. Now I would want this subDir to be the new root directory for kcfinder.
For example if my uploadURL in the config is /var/www/html/web/upload/ the new root for the above URL should become /var/www/html/web/upload/PO/200836/.
Attempt: I have been able to successfully create the directory /var/www/html/web/upload/PO/200836/ for the above URL (or any URL) provided. However, the root in kcfinder is still set to /var/www/html/web/upload/. So when I open the kcfinder, the directory gets created internally but the root is still set to the original root from config.php.
I added the following lines to change my root directory to the sub directory I pass through URL:
$this->config["uploadURL"] .= $_GET['subDir'];
$this->config["uploadDir"] .= $_GET['subDir'];
$this->typeDir = $this->config["uploadDir"] ."/files";
$this->typeURL = $this->config["uploadURL"] ."/files";
I have also raised this as an issue on github but no response from there yet. I am assuming the only change I need to do is set the root directory to display to the new directory being created but I am not sure where I am supposed to do this.
Is there a workaround for this?
PS: I am also open to any other open source web file manager PHP/jQuery solutions which has a way to do this. Using symfony as the framework.
UPDATE: I have tried replacing the default folder to the new modified folder like this in the __construct() of upload.php.

This creates the directory and everything but it does not set the root folder to the newly created folder. The folder is still set to the default root.
For anyone looking for an answer here, I came up with an alternative solution using a Symfony bundle called EMElfinderBundle since KCFinder had used $_GET variables all over their code and I couldn't change it possibly everywhere. This bundle actually turned out to be a better bundle than kcfinder. For anyone using Symfony I would definitely recommend this.
In the bundle, all I did was add up the following lines in its ElFinderConfigurationReader.php
$dir="";
parse_str(parse_url($this->requestStack->getCurrentRequest()->server->all()["HTTP_REFERER"])["query"]);
$driverOptions["path"] .= $dir;
