Re: [PHP] mkdir() failed: Permission denied
Got it but the solution is derned freaky... talking to the webserver admin I
come to find out that I have to write a stub executable to php4.cgi which
will interpret the PHP script bypassing the Apache mods.. that way I can
keep the directories at the default 0755 and STILL be able to do file mkdir
and uploading!!

Re: [PHP] mkdir() failed: Permission denied
I've made many dirs:
$path_to_dir = '../';
$images = 'images/';
$year = date('Y').'/';
$month = date('m').'/';
$source = 'jpg/';
$thumbs = 'thumbs/';
$preview = 'preview/';
$files = $HTTP_POST_FILES['image'];
$path = $path_to_dir.$images.$year.$month.$source;
if(!file_exists($path_to_dir.$images.$year)) {
mkdir($path_to_dir.$images.$year, 0755);
if(!file_exists($path_to_dir.$images.$year.$month)) {
mkdir($path_to_dir.$images.$year.$month, 0755);
if(!file_exists($path_to_dir.$images.$year.$month.$source)) {
mkdir($path_to_dir.$images.$year.$month.$source, 0755);
But you need to be the owner of the dir where you want to create another dir
and the permissions have to allow you to make some dirs.
The abowe script doesn't work unless you close the if () { constructs.

Re: [PHP] mkdir() failed: Permission denied
Ok I did just that.. Permission is set for /users/ppowell/web/my at 0755
giving me full write permissions onto that directory, I would think, to
create subdirectory /images.
However, I can't do that because I get the following error:
on line 27:
if (!is_dir($path)) mkdir($path, 01755);
// $path = "/users/ppowell/web/my/images/";
Warning: Unable to access /users/ppowell/web/my/images/ in
/users/ppowell/web/my/process.php on line 27

Whatever user your web server is running as needs to have permission to
write to that directory that you are trying to make the new one in.

[PHP] mkdir() failed: Permission denied
Ok, I am stuck. I am trying to create a folder in the same directory as
process.php and then use move_uploaded_file($FILES['myImage]['tmp_name'])
and it constantly fails:
mkdir() failed (Permission denied)
Here is my code:
$val) {
if (strcmp($key, "isDefaultLayout") == 0) $willChangeLayout = 0;
if (!empty($_POST[$key])) $isEmptyLayoutValues = 0;
${"$key"} = $val;
}
// SERVER-SIDE VALIDATION
if ($willChangeLayout && $isEmptyLayoutValues)
header("Location: " . $refURL . "?errorMsg=" . urlencode("Please fill out
all required fields"));
// FILE UPLOAD HANDLING
$attempt = mkdir("/users/ppowell/web/my/images", 0655);
if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['myImage']['tmp_name']))
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['myImage']['tmp_name'],
"/users/ppowell/web/my/images/" . $_FILES['myImage']['name']);
?>
Please someone tell me what I'm doing wrong :(

Depends what directory you are trying to create, and if the permissions of the parent directory allows you to do, based on the user apache is running as. Usually, most people dont run apache as root, normally the "nobody" user. "nobody" tends not to be able to mkdir's unless someone has chown'd/chmod'd a parent directory accordingly.
