Where are you trying to create the folder? If the folder your script is in has been chmod'd to 777 and mkdir("./new_folder", 0755) doesn't work, then I don't know what's wrong...

HeyRay2

Are you trying to create this folder at the root of your public_html, or in a subfolder?

Setting permissions on your public_html does not recursively set the permissions on all subfolders unless you specifically specify tell it to (like 'chmod -R 0777 public_html' or similar).

If you are trying to create this directory in a subfolder of public_html, then ensure that it also has 777 permissions.

I also tried in subfolder and it did worked, and now if i want to create one more folder in that created folder Like the 1st folder created was "xyz" and then the same script tries to create one more folder named "abc" in the xyz folder.

When i tried to create these 2 folders "xyz" folder created but in that "abc" folder was not created.. it said permission denied

while creating the 1st "xyz" folder i used mkdir ($key, 777); and then for the second folder i used mkdir ("$key/abc/", 777);

Now the abc folder was not created ...... Please help me in this also.....

Thank You !!!!!

'chmod -R 0777 public_html' is what you would run from a unix command shell

It will vary depending on where you are changing permission from (FTP program, SSH client, command line on the web server), and you may not be able to set the permissions recursively in all cases. Check the documentation for the program you are using to change permissions for more information.

For creating that subdirectory, try creating the folder using

mkdir($key."/abc", 777);
