It still does not work with '/' and recursive mode under windows :

<code>
<?php
mkdir ('toto/tutu/titi', 0777, true );
?>
</code>

Warning: mkdir(): No such file or directory in
C:\var\downloads\php5.2-win32-latest\test_mkdir.php on line 2

and

<code>
<?php
    mkdir ('C:/var/downloads/php5.2-win32-latest/toto/tutu/titi', 0777,
true );
?>
</code>

Using '\' works :

<code>
<?php
    mkdir ('toto\tutu\titi', 0777, true );
?>
</code>

and

<code>
<?php
    mkdir ('C:\var\downloads\php5.2-win32-latest\toto\tutu\titi', 0777,
true );
?>
</code>

work fine.

There is no problem in non-recursive mode and the following works fine
:

<code>
$path = 'tata/toto/tutu/titi';

$parts = explode( '/', $path );
$trail = '';

foreach( $parts as $part )
{
        $trail .= $part . '/';
        if ( file_exists( $trail ) )
        {
                return false;
        }
        else
        {
                if ( is_dir( dirname( $trail ) ) )
                {
                        mkdir ( $trail, 0777 );
                }
        }
}
</code>

I see this bug on Mac OS X 10.4.5 with PHP 5.1.2.

I've also noticed what I assume is a related problem with creating
directories in the current directory. For example, if I run the script
below in /tmp, the second (and fifth) mkdir will fail.

<?php
// e.g. running in /tmp                                                
        
mkdir('new1', 0700, true);            // works                         
              
mkdir('new2/sub', 0700, true);        // fails                         
              
mkdir('/tmp/new3/sub', 0700, true);   // works                         
          
mkdir('../tmp/new4/sub', 0700, true); // works                         
        
mkdir('/new5/sub', 0700, true); // fails, confirming 
                                // the original bug.
?>

I have made a little test and I figure out taht giving the full path is
not required but that you have to use the backslashes instead of the
slashes to make the recursive mkdir work :

<code>
mkdir ('toto/tutu/titi', 0777, true); # FAILS

mkdir ('toto\tutu\titi', 0777, true); # WORKS
</code>

But when not in recursive mode, mkdir works with either slashes or
backslashes.
