mkdir

Name

mkdir — Creates a directory.

Synopsis

bool mkdir(dir, mode); string dir: Directory to be created int mode: Umask

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

Example 340. Create a new directory

$path = "/home/user/newdir";

if(!mkdir($path, 0700))
{
    echo ("Couldn't create directory");
}
