mkdir help!!!

[Anon]

I have file call make.php, and i set the Permissions to:

owner group others

read read read
write write write

execute execute execute

inside the code:

<?php
chmod("/home/virtual/site19/fst/var/www/html/make.php", 0777);
mkdir('what', 0777);

?>

ERROR message:

Warning: chmod failed: Operation not permitted in /home/virtual/site19/fst/var/www/html/make.php on line 5

Warning: MkDir failed (Permission denied) in /home/virtual/site19/fst/var/www/html/make.php on line 7

i set permissions to all, how come it says the permission denied.
how can i fix it?

What are the permissions of the directory
/home/virtual/site19/fst/var/www/html

The perms on the php script that you are executing are irrelevant as to whether or not you can mkdir. It is the permissions of the directory that you are trying to mkdir in.
