Why can't PHP create a directory with 777 permissions?

Question

I\'m trying to create a directory on my server using PHP with the command:

mkdir(\"test\", 0777);

But it doesn\'t give full permissions, on

Answer 1

Avoid using this function in multithreaded webservers. It is better to change the file permissions with chmod() after creating the file.

Example:

$dir = "test";
$permit = 0777;

mkdir($dir);
chmod($dir, $permit);
