How to define the path of the new directory with php

Sorry in advance if it is a newbie question, but I am trying to make a file on my desktop with php.

The following script does not work. Any idea what is wrong? I have defined the path (which is my desktop) and the name of the file.

<?php

mkdir('/Users/mary/Desktop', "test", 0777, true);
?>

PHP does not have access to write to your desktop. You would need to chmod your desktop. Open a terminal and do: sudo chmod 777 $HOME/Desktop

That's for Linux/Mac, if you're on Windows it depends on the version.
