Problem with mkdir

[obhobh]

I am running a little test with mkdir trying to create a new directory in my web server which is hosted by other company.
when i ran the following code:

<?php
mkdir("/public_html/newfolder", 0700);
?>

if gave me access denied message. what can i do about this??

Thank you.

• Try emailling your provider to find out what you do and don't have privileges to do.

• Use the full path of your directory you wish tho create, i.e. rather than /public_html/newfolder, try something like /home/users/obhobh.com/html/public_html/newfolder (use php info to find this).

• Or FTP into your web space and chmod the public_html directory to 777, although you don't really wanna do that do you!!

Just a suggestion.
