How to create folder in parent directory?

My php script is located in /var/www/html/users/dev. I need to create a folder in /var/www/images/ - something like /var/www/images/test/test/ and store here some images.

But when i trying is with mkdir($file_dir, 0777); where $file_dir is /var/www/images/test/test/ i receive an error:

Warning: mkdir(): No such file or directory in /var/www/html/users/dev/classes/sites.class.php...

Because "/var/www/images/test" does not exists, so you can not mkdir("/var/www/images/test/test")

You can specify the "$recursive" to TRUE, and it will work, like this:

mkdir($file_dir, 0777, TRUE);

if it is Linux you have set permissions to your parent directory 1st.

sudo chmod -R 777 /path of ur directory.

Try

mkdir($file_dir, 0777, true);

The third parameter ('recursive') allows you to specify a path of which all directories will be created. If you don't, only the last directory ('test') will be created, and the whole path before that must exist.

The PHP documentation is quite clear about that.
