mkdir & linux

[lives4him06]

the following command works fine on windows:

mkdir ("pictures/pic", 0700);

this is supposed to make the directory "pic" within the "pictures" directory

but when i run this command on my linux machine, it does not execute. I am assuming that this has sometihng to do with directory ownership in linux, but im not sure. what can i do to make this code work on my linux machine.

Use chmod on the directory to change permissions.

e.g: chmod 777 (give full permission to all) which you probably don't want.

Check out google.com for help on the linux command.

i was under the impression mkdir() could only make 1 directory per call.

so as long as the pictures/ dir is already created, then pic/ should be created inside of it(assuming pictures/ is writable)

if safemode is on, and you try to do this
mkdir ("pictures", 0700);
mkdir ("pictures/pic", 0700);

i dont think its going to work. i beleive in safemode when directories are created, they are not created by the same uid as php. so trying to create a sub directory in a directory created w/ mkdir isnt possible under safemode
