troubles with mkdir() & chmod

[coldwerturkey]

I have an admin panel, and I need to create some folders using mkdir(), the only problem is I get this error

Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: Permission denied in /home/virtual/domain.com/www/htdocs/file.php on line 3465

This works on all my other linux servers.. so I set mkdir() to make a folder in /home/virtual/domain.com/www/htdocs/test/ and set /test to chmod 777, & it worked.

/htdocs is 755... &, I'm assuming you shouldn't be setting it to 777 for security reasons,

So what options do I have? I couldn't find anything on google, & I'm starting to get desperate..

Thanks in advance for any help..

have you tried before creating the folder to apply 755 to the folder?

chmod($folder, 0755);

yeah, no luck.
