mkdir not working

[John]

Hi

The following does not create a directory neither does it give any error
message. Any ideas?

$umask=umask(0) ;
$where="/var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/friday/";
mkdir ($where,0777);
umask($umask);

Regards
John

error_reporting set to E_ALL|E_STRICT? display_errors ON?

Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: Permission denied in
/home/john/example.com/adhoc.php on line 25

[Line 25 is mkdir]

Should be pretty clear now. The web server doesn't have write access in
the given directory.

Got it. The directory above the one being created needs write chmod.
Many thanks. Working now.
