Ownership/Permission issues

useless, I've always found it easier to have PHP use FTP. I've never had much luck any other way. If FTP extensions aren't installed with the version of PHP on your server, have your system admin do that first.

This function can be used to make a directory, the values you need to replace in this are $server, $user, and $pass. The first argument needs to be the absolute path of where you want to create your directory, the second is the name of the new directory.

PHP Code:

// create directory through FTP connection
function FtpMkdir($path, $newDir) {
  
       $server='255.255.255.255'; // ftp server
       $connection = ftp_connect($server); // connection
 
       // login to ftp server
       $user = "USERNAME";
       $pass = "PASSWORD";
       $result = ftp_login($connection, $user, $pass);

   // check if connection was made
     if ((!$connection) || (!$result)) {
       return false;
       exit();
       } else {
         ftp_chdir($connection, $path); // go to destination dir
       if(ftp_mkdir($connection,$newDir)) { // create directory
           return $newDir;
       } else {
           return false;       
       }
   ftp_close($connection); // close connection
   }

}
