MkDir problem. Can't work in root directory

[eac]

Hello, I am getting these errors using mkdir.php in my root dir
(www.site.com)

umask(000);
mkdir("test444", 0755);

leads to permission denied errors where the mkdir line is

Php build is 4.2.3
apache/linux

I can't find a straight answer on why this won't work
Is it that php build past 4.2 or what not won't allow it?
Or just server dependant?

I want to create directories like www.site.com/user4
if the user in the database has ID = 4

This sucks. What can I do?

That should work, try chainging the chmod of the root directory.

Are there serious security issues I have to deal with
if I do this? (If I am even allowed to)

Thanks for a reply

Not if you make it so only you can write into the root directory. Try chmodding it to 755, that should work 🙂
