Answer 1

First of all you should understand how php works (no offense but this is essential). Why PHP script is not workig in a web browser? To accomplish what you need you have to use ajax (to request a script on the server using javascript)

PHP File (createdir.php):

<?php 
    mkdir('/test1/test2', 0777, true); 
?>

JavaScript Code:

$('button').click(function() {
    $.ajax({
        url: 'createdir.php',
        success: function(){
             alert('dir created');
        }
    });

    return false;
});

I have not validated if the code acually works. If you encounter any problems you should have a look at the jquery documentation (it's awsome :-) ) http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/

Answer 2

you have to do:

//mkdir.php

<?php mkdir('/test1/test2', 0777, true); ?>

<script>
$('button').click(function(){  $('#hidden').load('mkdir.php'); return false; }) 
</script>

<div id='hidden' style='display:none;'></div>

Buddy , first of all understand that jquery is a client side programming language which is running on clients browse and Php runs on webserver .Copy the php code in to a php file and create a request to the php file from jquery using

$.ajax();
