Try using the recursive flag for mkdir($path, $chmod, $recursive)

<?php
mkdir($path, 0, true);
?>

From php.net= recursive Allows the creation of nested directories specified in the pathname. Defaults to FALSE.

You can also use the Linux exec command in the following way to achieve this,

<?php 
  exec("mkdir -p ".$path);
?>

-p won't throw any error if directory exists, otherwise it will create the directory along with the parent directories.

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

See specifically: bool $recursive = false.
