$files→mkdir()

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 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

Name	Type(s)	Description
`$path`	`string`	Directory you want to create
`$recursive` (optional)	`bool` `string`	If set to true, all directories will be created as needed to reach the end.
`$chmod` (optional)	`string` `null` `bool`	Optional mode to set directory to Default: $config->chmodDir format must be a string i.e. "0755" If omitted, then ProcessWire's `$config->chmodDir` setting is used instead.

Return value

bool

True on success, false on failure
