mkdir() help

[rockstardub]

I'm having problems at every turn and have found no help online.

<? 

$path = "/newdir";
if(!mkdir($path, 0700)) {
    echo ("Couldn't create directory");
}

?>

I always get problems, and I don't know what to do.

'having problems at every turn' and 'always get problems' is just a little too vague. Could you tell us what exactly the problems are?

I guess it wasn't clear
I just want a script that works.

I talked to a friend and found out how to do it,

<? 

$path = "/newdir";
if(!mkdir($path, 0700)) {
echo ("Couldn't create directory");
}

?>

but now I have a similar problem.

The script only works with certian permissions.
How do I automatically set the privileges of the directory so that this script works? or what permissions should be set (besides all access)?
