The site admin has not given the user under which your php scripts run permission to create directories and most likely files and other file system operations. It's a security issue. Robbert I see... I guess I could ask to see if I could get permission to do so then? lol never hurts to ask :)Open up your FTP client and log into your website, then change the permissions on your folder so that the apache process has write access to it. Its really hit and miss depending on your setup. The sure fire way (but highly insecure) way is to change the permissions to the directory in question to 777. A better solution would be 755, but it may not work. Try it, and see what you get.
