Creating a folder in php apache

Here is my code to create a folder named images 

$path="".Yii::app()->request->baseUrl."/users/".Yii::app()->session["id"]."/images";
        if(!file_exists($path))
        {
            mkdir($path,0777,true);
            echo($path);
        }

But the error i am having is 

mkdir(): Permission denied (/var/www/yiicapp/protected/models/Statement.php:123)

I am logged in as "bhawin" but it is making owner www-data

Yii::app()->request->baseUrl it is domain path URL such as http://example.com/yourfolderpath instead of that you can use relative path of the folder like /var/www/.....

You've got no right to write to given folder and PHP can't change it. You have to use SSH or FTP with user with permissions and change rights to 777.

Yii::app()->request->baseUrl is a URL, not a local filesystem path. You cannot create directories in a URL.

To work with the filesystem you would need to start from Yii::app()->basePath instead, although putting user-supplied content in a web-accessible location might not be smart (everyone can view that content if they know the correct URL). Depending on what the content is the correct approach might be to put it outside the web server document root entirely.

You have no rights to create a new folder, so chmod is probably what you need :)
