create folder in laravel

Question

I have problem let user create folder in laravel 4 through ajax request > route > controller@method.
I did test ajax success request to the url call right method.
When I use mkdir or File::mkdir($path); (is this method exist?) , I will get the response Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error) and fail to create new folder.. how to solve it ?

route.php

Route::post('admin/article/addimagegallery', 'AdminDashboardController@addImagegallery'); 

AdminDashboardController

public function addImagegallery() {     if (Request::ajax())     {         …         $galleryId = 1; // for test         $path = public_path().'/images/article/imagegallery/'.$galleryId;         File::mkdir($path);     } } 

js

$.ajax({     url: 'addimagegallery',     type: 'POST',     data: {addimagegallery: 'addimagegallery'}, }) .done(function(response) {     console.log(response); });

No, actually it's

use File;  File::makeDirectory($path); 

Also, you may try this:

$path = public_path().'/images/article/imagegallery/' . $galleryId; File::makeDirectory($path, $mode = 0777, true, true); 

Update: Actually it does work, mkdir is being used behind the scene. This is the source:

/**  * Create a directory.  *  * @param  string  $path  * @param  int     $mode  * @param  bool    $recursive  * @param  bool    $force  * @return bool  */ public function makeDirectory($path, $mode = 0777, $recursive = false, $force = false) {     if ($force)     {         return @mkdir($path, $mode, $recursive);     }     else     {         return mkdir($path, $mode, $recursive);     } } 

For deleting:

public function deleteDirectory($directory, $preserve = false); 

Check the source at following path (in your local installation):

root/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Filesystem/Filesystem.php
