Making a writeable directory in laravel using mkdir()

My issue isn't that the folder is getting written, it's the permissions that it's being written with. Here is the code I'm using the write the file:

// check if the file/folder exists
$targetPath = 'files/docmoga/';
if(!file_exists($targetPath)){
   $oldmask = umask(0);
   mkdir($targetPath, '0777', true); 
   umask($oldmask);
}
move_uploaded_file($tempFile, $targetFile);

It's failing on the last line because of permissions. Here are the permissions the folder is being written with:

dr----x--t 2 apache apache   4096 May  4 09:17 docmoga

What might be happening to cause the permissions to being written incorrectly for that folder? If it helps I'm using laravel as a framework which I know shouldn't mean anything.

Have you checked what user your script is running under?

Run exec('whoami') in your script and look at the output. It should be apache or a user that has the appropriate permissions to create the folder.

Also try to use the literal octal number 0777 vs a string version '0777'. Taken from https://stackoverflow.com/a/2251293/1133306
