[RESOLVED] Creating Directories with the mkdir function

[adaykin]

Hello, I need to create directories using php. Here is my code:

<?php
	$path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
	mkdir("$path/dir", 0777);
?>

When I run this script, I get a message in the browser saying:

Warning: mkdir(/home/dir): No such file or directory in /home/createDir.php on line 3

Is "/home" in fact your web document root directory? (It's an unusual configuration if it is, that's why I'm asking.)

Well, no that is just an example of directories, the names are fake, but the concept is real. I replaced the real names of directories with names that will have the same identical results, so I don't post the real thing.

well the problem was that I was trying to create several directories at the same time, so I had to use a recursive function I found at php.net:

function mkdir_recursive($pathname, $mode)
{
    is_dir(dirname($pathname)) || mkdir_recursive(dirname($pathname), $mode);
    return is_dir($pathname) || @mkdir($pathname, $mode);
}
