I figured out the permissions issue to allow gd to create image files, but I also need to create folders for those images. I've come up with a routine (below) but it fails to create the directories. I've made sure that the directory that the first directory is created in has the appropriate permissions, but it doesn't work. <?php $path = "path/path2/path3/path4/path5"; $buildingPath = "existingFolder"; $pathComponents = split("/", $path); foreach ($pathComponents as $value) { $buildingPath = $buildingPath . "/" . $value; print $buildingPath . '<br>'; if (opendir($buildingPath) == false) if (!mkdir($buildingPath)) print 'false <br>'; else closedir($buildingPath); } ?> The paths to the folders its supposed to create are correct ($buildingPath), but it always prints false signaling that mkdir has failed. This is the last remaining issue on getting my site finished. Well except for uploading, but I don't need that just yet.
