Question

My code

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

and

mkdir("relative/path", 0777);

is not working, safe mode is turned off, and I’ve even tried setting all of the parent folders to 777.

Any ideas?

EDIT: I do have error reporting turned on, in my frustration I’ve 777’d the whole path just to make sure that, that isn’t the issue. It’s gotta be something stupidly simple going on.

EDIT EDIT: Upvotes for everyone who responded with suggestions… But I’m not going to select an answer since this still isn’t resolved, but then again I think this is going to be one of those ones left open forever.

EDIT x 3: So I have the most unsatisfactory resolution to this question ever… I started with a clean VM image, retried it and it works now. No joke.

Answer 1

You’re missing quotes around the path name parameter.
