How to create a new folder using php

Question

I am trying to create a new folder using PHP.

What I have so far:

$dir = dirname($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]).'/images/1/thumb'; 
if( is_dir($dir) === false )
    { 
        mkdir($dir, 0777, true);
    }

But the folder is not created. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

You have to give absolute path as url will not work in file and directory handlig.

so your new function will be like that

   mkdir('./images/1/thumb', 0777, true);

Answer 2

<?php $structure = './images/1/thumb';

// To create the nested structure, the $recursive parameter 

// to mkdir() must be specified.

if (mkdir($structure, 0777, true)) {
echo "Folder Created";
}else{
echo "Not Created";

} ?>
