Try this:

$old_umask = umask(0);
mkdir($create_path, 0777);
umask($old_umask);

This really works for me!, you should close now this question!

1. Create the directory!

2. Give 777 permissions!

   $estructure = '../files/folderName';
   
   if(!mkdir($estructure, 0777, true)){
       echo "<br/><br/>ERROR: Fail to create the folder...<br/><br/>"; 
   }  else echo "<br/><br/>!! Folder Created...<br/><br/>";
   
   chmod($estructure, 0777);
   

3. Enjoy it!

Answer 3

Try this:

<?php
// files will create as -rw-------
umask(0);
// create a file, eg fopen()

chmod('/path/to/directory', 0777);
?>
