create new directory

[hattefnatte]

Hi, I'm totally new to php.

Please help me with this very simple task.

I want to create a new directory. The new directory should be placed relative to the script that is creating the directory. This should work on diffrent locations on the server. So I need a way to find out the path to the script.

Is there such enviroment variable in php?

Should I use mkdir()?

I'm very grateful for all answers!

Yeah, just use mkdir()...

To find the path: [man]realpath/man will give you the real path to the page
Unix: /home/users/username/public_html/path/to/your/file.php
Windows: C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache 2\htdocs\path\to\your\file.php

Thanks alot.
Now ist there a smart way to get rid of the filname part of the path, to make
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache 2\htdocs\path\to\your\file.php

become:

C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache 2\htdocs\path\to\your\

And this should work for both unix and win...
?
