Before I ask, I have read the documentation but nothing seems to work. I want to run a system command from behind the scenes (totally secure area of my server) that creates a directory and changes permissions on it. i.e. system ("mkdir $path"); Example above uses a value from a form passed to the script and is assigned from $_POST['path']; When I run it no directory is created. Ideas?? Does the user that the webserver is running as have permissions to make that directory?
