mkdir

MKDIR(3)								 1								  MKDIR(3)

mkdir - Makes directory

SYNOPSIS

       bool mkdir (string  $pathname, [int  $mode = 0777], [bool  $recursive = false], [resource  $context])

DESCRIPTION

	Attempts to create the directory specified by pathname.

PARAMETERS

	      o $pathname
		- The directory path.

	      o $mode
		-  The	mode  is  0777	by default, which means the widest possible access. For more information on modes, read the details on the
		chmod(3) page.

	      Note

		     $mode is ignored on Windows.

	       Note that you probably want to specify the mode as an octal number, which means it should have a leading zero.  The  mode  is  also
	      modified by the current umask, which you can change using umask(3).

	      o $recursive
		- Allows the creation of nested directories specified in the $pathname.

	      o $context
		-

	      Note

		     Context support was added with PHP 5.0.0. For a description of contexts, refer to "Streams".

RETURN VALUES

	Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      mkdir(3) example

	      <?php
	      mkdir("/path/to/my/dir", 0700);
	      ?>

       Example #2

	      mkdir(3) using the $recursive parameter

	      <?php
	      // Desired folder structure
	      $structure = './depth1/depth2/depth3/';

	      // To create the nested structure, the $recursive parameter
	      // to mkdir() must be specified.

	      if (!mkdir($structure, 0777, true)) {
		  die('Failed to create folders...');
	      }

	      // ...
	      ?>

ERRORS
/EXCEPTIONS
	Emits an E_WARNING level error if the directory already exists.

	Emits an E_WARNING level error if the relevant permissions prevent creating the directory.

NOTES

       Note

	      When  safe mode is enabled, PHP checks whether the directory in which the script is operating has the same UID (owner) as the script
	      that is being executed.

SEE ALSO

       is_dir(3), rmdir(3).
