function drupal_mkdir

Creates a directory using Drupal's default mode.

PHP's mkdir() does not respect Drupal's default permissions mode. If a mode is not provided, this function will make sure that Drupal's is used.

Compatibility: normal paths and stream wrappers.

Parameters

$uri: A URI or pathname.

$mode: By default the Drupal mode is used.

$recursive: Default to FALSE.

$context: Refer to http://php.net/manual/ref.stream.php

Return value

Boolean TRUE on success, or FALSE on failure.
