If you are prior PHP5 write your own recursive mkdir function [1] as
posted on this list a while ago.

Hi,
Well, as your mkdir is saying you can only have 2 parameters, I'm
guessing you're not yet running PHP 5. Also, as 0777 is the default
mode, you can omit this from your code to leave only one argument.
You didn't say the exact error you're getting when you omit the third
argument. My guess

More than likely, your host has safe mode on. Safe mode is a pain in the

The problem is that your webserver is not running as you...it's
running under a common user (probably nobody or apache) and that user
does not--and cannot--have access to your folder for security reasons.
You can try creating the directory through ftp via PHP.

When you use a file-related command (fopen, mkdir, etc.) you're executing
that command under the same user-context that apache runs
a) check to see if the user that apache is running as has access to the

Jeff,
If this script is running as nobody, or some other low-class user, and the
permissions on the directory in which you are attempting to create a
sub-directory do not allow the creation of the sub-directory by this user,
then mkdir will fail.
Say your script resides in 'php-stuff' with
How do I set permissions for a certain user (ie nobody) for a directory?

Nobody is the user runng the Apache process that's why it is the owner
of the directory.
You can chown the direcotry from your PHP script after you create

it using Telnet once it's created.

Can Apache/nobody write to the parent directory?
