??mkdir and chmod??

[concept0020]

I am tring to make a directory and give it full privleges... this is what I have

function mkdir($dirName) //mkdir
{
  @mkdir($dirName,0777);
  @chmod($dirName,0777);

} 

This creates the folder.... but when I try to upload a file to the new folder it does not allow it... Also when I ftp to check the folder I right click it and try to change permissions on it and it does not allow me to... If I delete the folder in the ftp window and recreat it there... I can upload to it and change permission as needed...

Why does it not work when I creat the folder via the function...??

Any help...

Thanks

What error messages (if any) do you get if you leave off the error-message-suppressing '@' signs?

(Incidentally, I'm guessing this is a class method? Otherwise it's a good trick to be redefining the mkdir() function!)

I do not get an error from creating the directory... I get the error after when I try to change the permissions through an ftp window. I get this message from windows when I try it...
"An error occured changing the permissions on the file or folder on the FTP server. Make sure you have permission to change this item. Details : 550 folderName Operation not permitted"

When I creat a folder in the ftp window I can change permissions and file can be uploaded to the folder...
