PHP don't create the folder mkdir()

Question

Accepted Answer

Which user does your webserver run as? You can see that if you write

```
ps aux
```

and take a look. It is probably the user www-data (if you use ubuntu).

Then you chown the dir to that user and give the user write permissions to the directory.

chown www-data /var/www/PhpProject3

and

chmod u+w /var/www/PhpProject3

An alternative is to instead use group permissions.

chgrp www-data /var/www/PhpProject3

and

chmod g+w /var/www/PhpProject3

assuming the webserver runs as group www-data.
