Re: mkdir after mkdir

Unfortunately my server has no ftp (but SSH). It makes much sence what you said, but how can PHP (with uid=48) make a directory with uid=1042. both folder are (to be) made the same script, but only one is (with uid=1042). This is what makes it very peculiar. I think I have skip the idea of creating 2 nested folders.
