I've used this workaround:

instead of php mkdir you can create directories by FTP with proper rights.

    function FtpMkdir($path, $newDir) {
       $path = 'mainwebsite_html/'.$path;
       $server='ftp.myserver.com'; // ftp server
       $connection = ftp_connect($server); // connection


       // login to ftp server
       $user = "user@myserver.com";
       $pass = "password";
       $result = ftp_login($connection, $user, $pass);

       // check if connection was made
       if ((!$connection) || (!$result)) {
          return false;
          exit();
       } else {
         ftp_chdir($connection, $path); // go to destination dir
         if(ftp_mkdir($connection, $newDir)) { // create directory
             ftp_site($connection, "CHMOD 777 $newDir") or die("FTP SITE CMD failed.");
             return $newDir;
         } else {
           return false;
         }

         ftp_close($connection); // close connection
      }

  }
