need urgent help - safemode problem

[buducom]

I am trying to generate a directory
and copy a file to it when a user clicks a button.
I get safemode restriction.

I got shared hosting. Is there anyway around this?

	   if (!file_exists($diris)){
		   mkdir ($diris, 0777);
		   chmod($diris, 0777);

	   }
if (!copy("profiles/copy.php", $diris."index.php")) {
   echo "failed to copy $file...\n";
}

the easiest workaround i know of is to create the directory using ftp instead of using mkdir()

look at the user comments for mkdir() to see an example.
