mkdir() not working

Question

My code

mkdir(\"/some/absolute/path\",0777);

and

mkdir(\"relative/path\", 0777);

is not working, safe mode is

Answer 1

Do all of the parent directories exist?

If not, you'll need to enable recursion (assuming PHP5 here):

mkdir('/path/to/your/dir',0777,true);

EDIT: Didn't see the hidden comment saying that every directory from var downward was set to world-writable, so I'm betting the directory path exists and the above won't be helpful. Sorry!
