mkdir — Makes directory

Description

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

Attempts to create the directory specified by pathname.

PHP: mkdir - Manual Home of Manuel PHP  Contents Haut

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 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().

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.
