I was thinking the exact same thing but I can actually delete files from
these directories using a system command through php. Would that be a
different type of permission?

Before I ask, I have read the documentation but nothing seems to work.

I want to run a system command from behind the scenes (totally secure
area of my server) that creates a directory and changes permissions on it.
i.e. system ("mkdir $path");

Example above uses a value from a form passed to the script and is
assigned from $_POST['path'];
When I run it no directory is created. Ideas??

Does the user that the webserver is running as have permissions to make 
that directory?

No, it would be the same permissions.
