mkdir

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)

mkdir — 新建目录

说明

bool mkdir ( string $pathname [, int $mode = 0777 [, bool $recursive = false [, resource $context ]]] )

尝试新建一个由 pathname 指定的目录。

参数

pathname

目录的路径。

mode

默认的 mode 是 0777，意味着最大可能的访问权。有关 mode 的更多信息请阅读 chmod() 页面。

Note:

mode 在 Windows 下被忽略。

注意也许想用八进制数指定模式，也就是说该数应以零打头。模式也会被当前的 umask 修改，可以用 umask() 来改变。

recursive

Allows the creation of nested directories specified in the pathname.

context

Note: 在 PHP 5.0.0 中增加了对上下文（Context）的支持。有关上下文（Context）的说明参见 Streams。

返回值

成功时返回 TRUE ，或者在失败时返回 FALSE 。

更新日志

版本	说明
5.0.0	添加 `recursive` 参数。
5.0.0	mkdir() 也可用于某些 URL 封装协议。参见支持的协议和封装协议的列表看看 mkdir() 支持哪些 URL 封装协议。
4.2.0	`mode` 成为可选项。

范例

Example #1 mkdir() 例子

  <?php
mkdir ( "/path/to/my/dir" ,  0700 );
 ?>

Example #2 通过 recursive 参数使用 mkdir()

  <?php
 // Desired folder structure
 $structure  =  './depth1/depth2/depth3/' ;

 // To create the nested structure, the $recursive parameter 
// to mkdir() must be specified.

 if (! mkdir ( $structure ,  0 ,  true )) {
    die( 'Failed to create folders...' );
}

 // ...
 ?>

注释

Note: 当启用安全模式时， PHP 会在执行脚本时检查被脚本操作的目录是否与被执行的脚本有相同的 UID（所有者）。

Note that mkdir() also will return false if the directory exists. So, always use file_exists() to catch an existing-directory error.

[#2] bloggernitscomp54engg[at]gmail[dot]com [2014-11-07 07:28:14]

mkdir("video/".$userId,0777);

Every time I run this code but permission wont change. It always show 755.I have spent lot of time in why my folder is not getting permission 777 (I think, mkdir has some problem in setting permission ).

then I used this code.

mkdir("video/".$userId,0777);
chmod("video/".$userId,0777);

my folder permission get changed 777.

If you are using the SPL FileInfo object and then try to create the path with mkdir, don't forget that mkdir expects a string as the first argument and NOT an object...

I have forgotten that very important rules and get only a permission deny to mkdir to create new directories but in fact, the issue was the fact that i wasn't passing a string to mkdir

$my_file = new SplFileInfo('path/to/file.txt') ;

// get path from file
$parent = $my_file->getPathInfo() ;

// check if path is directory or not
if($parent->isDir())
{
// create / open file.txt file
} else {
// if path/to does not exists, create the directory recursively
mkdir($parent, 0755, true) ; // THIS WON'T WORK because $parent is a SplFileInfo object.

// instead, get the path as a string
$path = $parent->getPathname() ;
mkdir($path, 0755, true) ; // THIS WILL WORK
}

[#4] Anonymous [2014-05-06 12:36:11]

Don't forget to use the recursive option on Windows if creating a folder below a folder that already exists. Otherwise you may get a very confusing error message, "Warning: mkdir(): No such file or directory in d:\path\to\file" where you think the folder should exist but you forgot to create the parent(s).

For example, if d:\path exists but there is nothing in it:

<?php $path = 'd:\path\to\my\file'; mkdir($path, null, true); ?>

[#5] matt at imaketheweb dot com [2011-08-03 18:26:53]

If you're getting a Permission Denied error, but are certain the permissions and ownership where you are trying to create the directory are correct, check again:

The location where you are trying to create the directory in must have the Execute permission for the owner trying to create it, regardless of if the folder is Readable, or Writable.

This may be obvious to some, but was not to me at first. Hopefully this will save you the trouble I went through.

[#6] pz [2011-07-05 09:41:12]

mkdir works with stream wrappers, so it's ok to write mkdir('ftp://user:pass@server/mydir');

which really made my day

[#7] toppi at kacke dot de [2011-06-07 08:36:57]

If you have problems with the SAFE MODE Restriction in effect i.e. if you try to create and access to subdirectorys recursive you can use ftp-lib like this.

<?php DEFINE ('FTP_USER','yourUser'); DEFINE ('FTP_PASS','yourPassword'); function mkDirFix ($path) { $path = explode("/",$path); $conn_id = @ftp_connect("localhost"); if(!$conn_id) { return false; } if (@ftp_login($conn_id, FTP_USER, FTP_PASS)) { foreach ($path as $dir) { if(!$dir) { continue; } $currPath.="/".trim($dir); if(!@ftp_chdir($conn_id,$currPath)) { if(!@ftp_mkdir($conn_id,$currPath)) { @ftp_close($conn_id); return false; } @ftp_chmod($conn_id,0777,$currPath); } } } @ftp_close($conn_id); return $currPath; } ?>

Maybe it helps.

If you are having trouble with the pathname, use:

echo dirname( __FILE__ );

That will show you the pathname of the current script and you will be able to use that to see where you have to start your pathname.

I tried forever to do mkdir('dirname') and was getting permission denied. I can see now its because it was trying to create that folder up at home when i wanted it down in public_html.

I hope this saves someone some time.

[#9] [Rakesh Verma] rakeshnsony at gmail dot com [2011-05-02 23:02:21]

if you are unable to create recursive folder(s) using 0755 mode in your php script.

Then try it by changing your current user to apache and test it again.

Hopefully you will get positive results

[#10] julius - grantzau - c-o-m [2011-03-08 08:10:48]

Remember to use clearstatcache()

... when working with filesystem functions.

Otherwise, as an example, you can get an error creating a folder (using mkdir) just after deleting it (using rmdir).

[#11] Benjamin Rack [2010-12-02 04:18:43]

It should be mentioned that - at least on Windows - when using UNC paths with mkdir the 2nd parameter $mode should not be specified. Otherwise mkdir fails to create the directory on the given UNC path.

[#12] satis at clankiller dot com [2010-09-08 06:05:52]

Please note that in a shared environment I failed to take into account an existing umask when I did a mkdir(dirname, 0755).  This ended up creating the directory (function returned true), but I didn't have rights to do anything inside the folder, nor could I even view that it existed via ftp.

However, file_exists(dirname) returned true.  Eventually I figured out what happened and was able to rmdir(dirname), then created the directory correctly.

So, when writing scripts you expect to be portable, either use umask to set your umask accordingly, or do a straight mkdir(dirname) followed by chmod(dirname, 0755) (or whatever it is you're looking for).  If you make the same mistake I did, you should be able to rmdir() or chmod() the folder so it's accessible.

[#13] jack dot sleight at gmail dot com [2010-03-26 03:26:52]

When using the recursive parameter bear in mind that if you're using chmod() after mkdir() to set the mode without it being modified by the value of uchar() you need to call chmod() on all created directories. ie:

<?php mkdir('/test1/test2', 0777, true); chmod('/test1/test2', 0777); ?>

May result in "/test1/test2" having a mode of 0777 but "/test1" still having a mode of 0755 from the mkdir() call. You'd need to do:

<?php mkdir('/test1/test2', 0777, true); chmod('/test1', 0777); chmod('/test1/test2', 0777); ?>

[#14] michael at neo dot co dot il [2010-01-27 07:39:55]

sometimes the directory created with another mode than specified ( 0755 instead 0777 etc).
to solve that use :

<?php $old = umask(0); mkdir($dir,0777); umask($old); ?>

[#15] ethaizone at hotmail dot com [2009-08-03 13:10:18]

When I created folder on windows with mkdir, I found some problem from folder nam so I write this function.

<?php function filename_safe($name) { $except = array('\\', '/', ':', '*', '?', '"', '<', '>', '|'); return str_replace($except, '', $name); } ?>

It can use with another functions about file system as file_put_contents to clean up file name.

[#16] vlad at todosv dot com [2009-03-05 08:59:48]

Note that you should NOT enter the $mode value with "" or '' sorrounding it.

So, this should be valid:
<?php mkdir("dir1/dir2",0777,true); ?>

But this is not:
<?php mkdir("dir1/dir2","0777",true); ?>

Nor this:
<?php mkdir("dir1/dir2",'0777',true); ?>

[#17] d dot kok at kadova dot nl [2009-02-20 00:02:41]

Please note that when specifying the recursive option the function returns false anyway if the directory already exists.

For some reason however I expected it to behave like `mkdir -p` on the command line which succeeds if the directory already exists.

It should be noted that all of the recursive mkdir functions coded below are no longer required - as of 5.0.0 it says the "recursive" flag is available. I just tested it, it properly works (and I would assume it works for streams and Windows as well, if not, then it would be a bug)

Here's a script to create a recursive directory path on NAS or another server using Common Internet File System (CIFS)

e.g. you already have a directory on a server
\\server/share/dir1/dir2

you want to create some more directories
\\server/share/dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4

<?php function remote_mkpath($server, $path) { $dirs = array(); $path = preg_replace('/(\/){2,}|(\\\){1,}/','/',$path); //only forward-slash $dirs = explode("/", $path); $path = "\\\\" . $server . "/"; $i = 0; foreach ($dirs AS $element) { $path .= $element . "/"; if(!is_dir($path) && $i != 0) { if(!mkdir($path)){ echo "something was wrong at : " . $path; return 0; } } $i++; } return true; echo $path; } // example usage remote_mkpath("SERVER", "share/dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4"); ?>

Good luck!

[#23] david dot NOSPAM at ajnewmedia dot NOSPAM dot co dot uk [2008-01-21 21:04:18]

p-garcia : since PHP 5, setting the recursive flag (which currently has no notes in the manual entry) will allow you to create nested directories in the same way as Windows / Linux mkdir -p, so long as the webserver has permissions to write in the root directory of the path specified
eg:

<?php mkdir ("./newdir1/newdir2/newdir3/", 0755, true); // Returns TRUE if you have permission to write to the current directory // and creates nested directories with permissionsrwxr-xr-x ?>

[#24] Michal Nazarewicz, mina86 at mina86 dot com [2007-08-27 07:34:43]

On the other hand, splitting path on something else then a DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR may give unexpected results when someone accualy wants a file name with backslash in it! Moreover, neither Alan's nor pluto's code check for errors or return any value. Also, I don't like the isset($folder[$i]) technique -- there is a count() function you know.

<?php function recursive_mkdir($path, $mode = 0777) { $dirs = explode(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR , $path); $count = count($dirs); $path = '.'; for ($i = 0; $i < $count; ++$i) { $path .= DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $dirs[$i]; if (!is_dir($path) && !mkdir($path, $mode)) { return false; } } return true; } ?>

It will only fail if someone specifies a mode which does not allow owner to create new entries in directory.

[#25] sean at pedlr dot com [2007-03-08 20:58:06]

It should be noted that although the documentation says that the default permissions for mkdir are 0777, this is not always the case.

I'm running LAMP and without explicitly setting the permissions, the directories created had permissions of 0755.

[#26] fantasysportswire at yahoo dot com [2006-12-20 18:07:07]

One small correction on a note from Frank in June 2006 on recursive directories under Windows.

First - this should be in the documentation as its the only function that I know of that php does not fix the slashes automatically.

Franks note stated:

<?php    $mypath="testdir\subdir\test";    mkdir($mypath,0777,TRUE); ?>

This doesn't work in windows:

<?php    $mypath="testdir/subdir/test";    mkdir($mypath,0777,TRUE); ?>

----

This will work a bit better :)

<?php    $mypath="testdir\\subdir\\test";    mkdir($mypath,0777,TRUE); ?>

[#27] kungla at gmail dot com [2006-07-18 05:41:02]

Somehow the recursive version of mkdir didn't work for me on Mac and the workaraounds listed below alsow didn't work for me, so heres my solution:

<?php function mkdir_r($dirName, $rights=0777){ $dirs = explode('/', $dirName); $dir=''; foreach ($dirs as $part) { $dir.=$part.'/'; if (!is_dir($dir) && strlen($dir)>0) mkdir($dir, $rights); } } ?>

Tested and works ;)

[#28] jamespilcher1hotmail [2006-04-08 05:53:00]

one small gotcha:

mkdir(""), mkdir(false), and mkdir(null) give a "file exists" error. this is also true of a directory name consisting of any string that only contains space characters.

(this was on php 5.1.2 on Windows 2000)

[#29] Ali Baba [2006-03-10 13:26:09]

Greg, your code does not work for me; maybe it has a bug or we have configuration changes. Anyway, this one works to create recursively the directory DIRECTORY.

<?php define ("DIRECTORY", "/tmp/mydir/mysubdir"); do { $dir = DIRECTORY; while (!is_dir($dir)) { $basedir = dirname($dir); if ($basedir == '/' || is_dir($basedir)) mkdir($dir,0777); else $dir=$basedir; } } while ($dir != DIRECTORY); ?>

I could not get the sticky bit set properly using the octal mode: 2775 (rwxrwsr-x)

$foo='my_directory';

$old_umask = umask(0);
mkdir($foo,2775);
umask($old_umask);

using the above lines renders a directory with permissions:

d-wx-wSrwt 2 www www 4096 Nov 2 11:43 my_directory

Not exactly what I was looking for.

This gets closer to the mark:

$foo='my_directory';

$old_umask = umask(0);
mkdir($foo,0777); // the default chmod
umask($old_umask);

The 'mkdir' function doesn't function correctly on Windows when the path
contains forward slashes. The part of the path with the forward slashes
doesn't get created.

mkdir('c:/a/b/c/d', 0775, true);

You get the error message:
Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: No such file or directory

Please use backslashes under Windows or use the constant DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.

mkdir('c:\a\b\c\d', 0775, true);
mkdir('c:'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'a'.

mkdir, file rw, permission related notes for Fedora 3////
If you are using Fedora 3 and are facing permission problems, better check if SElinux is enabled on ur system. It add an additional layer of security and as a result PHP cant write to the folder eventhough it has 777 permissions. It took me almost a week to deal with this!

If you are not sure google for SElinux or 'disabling SELinux' and it may be the cure! Best of luck!

[#35] aulbach at unter dot franken dot de [1999-07-22 14:37:52]

This is an annotation from Stig Bakken:

The mode on your directory is affected by your current umask. It will end
up having (<mkdir-mode> and (not <umask>)). If you want to create one
that is publicly readable, do something like this:

<?php $oldumask = umask(0); mkdir('mydir', 0777); // or even 01777 so you get the sticky bit set umask($oldumask); ?>
