From the usernotes in [man]mkdir[/man] I stole the following:

function MakeDirectory($dir, $mode = 0755)
  {
  if (is_dir($dir) || @mkdir($dir,$mode)) 
    {return TRUE;} else {return FALSE;};
  }

When you try and upload a file, you take the path to the base-directory, and add the name of the folder (e.g., $path."/".$year."/"$month) and you pass this to the function. It will return true if the directory exists, or if it has created it. Either one is ok.

To create the directory at the first of the month, either use a cron job, or have a frequently visited page check the date and if it's the first, create the directory if it doesn't already exist.
