help: if directory doesnt exist, create directory

[martincrumlish]

Hi,

I am using mkdir to create a directory named after a date value obtained from a DB. I want the mkdir function to run, only if the directory for that date hasnt been created already that day.

How can I check if a directory exists and then, if it does not, use mkdir?

Your help with this is appreciated,

Thanks,
Martin

I believe that file_exists will also work on directories....
