$base_dir = '/path/to/your/dir';
$new_dir = $base_dir.date('/Y/m/d/');
if(!file_exists($new_dir) AND is_writable($base_dir)) {
    mkdir($new_dir, 0755, true)
}

You can use mkdir(). It has an option to create folders recursively.

Then just build a path using your desired date, and be sure to add true to the function.

Meaning something like :

mkdir("/2012/5/25", 0755, true);

To build your date path you need to use the PHP method date(), for further reading and examples read the documentation.
