Create a directory that is writable to ProcessWire and uses the defined $config chmod settings
Unlike PHP's mkdir() function, this function manages the read/write mode consistent with ProcessWire's
setting $config->chmodDir, and it can create directories recursively. Meaning, if you want to create directory /a/b/c/ and directory /a/ doesn't yet exist, this method will take care of creating /a/, /a/b/, and /a/b/c/.
The $recursive and $chmod arguments may optionally be swapped (since 3.0.34).
Example
// Create a new directory in ProcessWire's cache dir
if($files->mkdir($config->paths->cache . 'foo-bar/')) {
// directory created: /site/assets/cache/foo-bar/
}Usage
// basic usage
$bool = $files->mkdir(string $path);
// usage with all arguments
$bool = $files->mkdir(string $path, $recursive = false, $chmod = null);Arguments
