PHP Functions Essential Reference

mkdir

bool mkdir(string dir, int mode) 

Creates a directory.

Returns:

TRUE on success; FALSE on failure

Description:

Creates a directory with permissions as specified by the umask. The function returns an error if directory creation failed due to safe mode being in effect or permission problems. Note that you probably want to specify the mode as an octal number, so it should have a leading zero.

Example:

Create a new directory

$path = "/home/user/newdir"; if(!mkdir($path, 0700)) { echo ("Couldn't create directory"); }
