mkdir
Description
The mkdir of Filesystem for PHP makes directory.
Syntax
mkdir ( string $pathname [, int $mode = 0777 [, bool $recursive = FALSE [, resource $context ]]] ) : bool
Parameters
pathname
The directory path.
mode
The mode is 0777 by default, which means the widest possible access. For more information on modes, read the details on the chmod() page.
Note: mode is ignored on Windows.
Note: 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().
recursive
Allows the creation of nested directories specified in the pathname.
context
Note: Context support was added with PHP 5.0.0. For a description of contexts, refer to Streams.
Return
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
Examples
1
<?
mkdir("/path/to/my/dir");
?>2
<?
mkdir("/path/to/my/dir", 0700);
?>3
<?
// 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...');
}
// ...
