Hi all,

when I do a mkdir() on one of my websites, I get

" mkdir() failed (Permission denied) "

Does anyone know which parameter needs to be set to allow PHP to create directories?

it's most likely not a setting in php but a problem with filesystem permissions.

Sorry wasn't clear in what my problem was: which parameter in php.ini must I set or change to allow that?

if ur on linux .. you need to do from the command line :

chmod a+rx script.php (where script.php is where u call mkdir from.)

if that doesnt work, try

chmod a+rwx script.php

Ooops. I was sure I had set chmod to 775. In fact it was set to 755... :oops:
Thanks :)
