Recursive mkdir() and chmod()?

Question

When using mkdir() with the recursive flag set to true do all the created directories get the specified chmod or just the last one? For example:

mkdir('/doesnotExist1/doesnotExist2/doesnotExist3/', 0755, true);

Will the newly created directories /doesnotExist1/ and /doesnotExist1/doesnotExist2/ also get the same chmod as /doesnotExist1/doesnotExist2/doesnotExist3/ = 0755?

If not, is there any way to force the above behavior?

I would test this myself, but I don't have access to a *nix box ATM.

Just tested on gentoo linux with PHP 5.2.12: They all have the same permissions.

soulmerge@shark-g:~$ php -a
Interactive shell

php > mkdir('asd/def/ghi', 0700, 1);
php > ^C
soulmerge@shark-g:~$ ls -hal asd
