creating a directory with PHP

[carllucas]

Hi there. I'm trying to create a temporary directory using php.

I use the mkdir function but it doesn't seem to work. This is my code:

if(!file_exists($dir))
{
	$attempt = mkdir($dir, 0775);

	if ($attempt) { echo "sucess"; }

	else { echo "error"; }
}

I keep getting "error".

Any help will be much appriciated.

Hi,

The same code is works fine for me - I think because of the directory permission you may not able to create the folder. So check the parent directory permission.

If you are not able to create the folder - try exec function.

Thanks subach. Can you tell me how to check the permission on my parent directory because I tried exec(mkdir($dir , 0775)) doesn't work.

I think it is a permission thing or a safemode thing with php.
