mkdir() is not setting chmod to 0777

Why does mkdir not set CHMOD to 0777?

mkdir('/var/www/test', 0777);

After the dir is made the CHMOD is set to 0755

from php.net

bool mkdir ( string $pathname [, int $mode = 0777 [, bool $recursive = false [, resource $context ]]] )

the $mode should be 0777 by default... but if you leave the second argument empty the CHMOD still is set to 0755

According to the mkdir PHP documentation:

The mode is also modified by the current umask, which you can change using umask().

Could this be the case?

Because it is influenced by the current umask. From the PHP mkdir documentation:

The mode is also modified by the current umask, which you can change using umask().

From http://php.net/mkdir:

Note: mode is ignored on Windows.

The mode is also modified by the current umask, which you can change using umask().
