Creating directories on a server with PHP

Is it possible to create a script which would allow someone to create a directory on a server without actually having to FTP in?

If there is, how can it be done?

Thanks :)

to make a directory just do the following:

this will make a directory and set the privleges.

mkdir('path', 0777);

might need to add umask.

only notes:
0777 grants read/write/execute to everyone
first check that the path is in 'your space' on the server.
It's not nice (and also a failure of the provider, of course) if someone creates '/tmp2' or similar
