mkdir() Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. if you assign $target_path to mkdir function then variable becomes boolean. Try this,

 $target_path = "doc_student/$id";
 if(!is_dir($target_path)){
    mkdir($target_path, '0777');
 }

instead of

$target_path = mkdir("doc_student/$id", '0777');

mkdir() retuns a boolean if it has success, not the created folder's path, you must use another syntax:

mkdir("doc_student/$id", '0777');
$target_path = "doc_student/$id";
