when you are creating the directory use 777 as permission like

mkdir('new_dir', 0777, true);

and then try the below code

if(rmdir('new_dir'))
{
    echo "deleted";die;   
}
else
{
    echo "not deleted";die;
}

i checked it and found,if your folder has not right permission then it will not be deleted.

please try and let me know the status.
