if (is_dir($structure) == false and mkdir($structure, 0700) == false)
{
  echo "error creating folder";
}
else
{
  echo "folder exists or was created";
}

You could also test if a file exists, but it isn't a folder

Try the following:

$folder = "folder_name";
// if folder does not exist or the name is used, just not for a folder
if (!file_exists($folder) || !is_dir($folder)) {
    if (mkdir($folder, 0755)) {
        echo 'Folder created';
    } else {
        echo 'Unable to create folder';
    }
}
