[RESOLVED] create a directory then copy files to it

I'm a bit confused with the creating a directory part. I believe i need to use mkdir but i'm not sure i have it right, since i get an error

code:

mkdir('/users/stamps/'.htmlspecialchars($_POST['MemName'].'/', 0777);

error

Warning: mkdir(/users/stamps/test) [function.mkdir]: No such file or directory in /usr/home/desbrina/public_html/test.php on line 33

Try escaping the 's in the $POST statement or using double quotes like this:

mkdir("/users/stamps/".htmlspecialchars($_POST['MemName']."/", 0777);

i'm now getting another error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /usr/home/desbrina/public_html/join.php on line 77

77 is the mkdir line

$_SESSION['cards'] = true;

mkdir("/users/stamps/".htmlspecialchars($_POST['MemName']."/", 0777); // Line 77
function full_copy( $source, $target ) {

You need another ) after the 0777) before the ;

i have a habit of that, found another one further down in the script to, thanks for the help, everythings sorted for now
