I'm trying to make a directory with full permission rights using this script:
mkdir($dirpath,0777)
but for some reason it only gives permission 755. Can someone please help me?

Did you try quoting the directory path?
mkdir("/path/to/directory",0777);

Try: (note the backticks, not apostrophes!)
`mkdir --mode=777 $dirpath`;
or/
`mkdir -m 777 $dirpath`;

0777 is the default permission anyway. Make sure the script executing it has the correct permissions in the first place (i would imagine it does). Also, try FTPing to the folders and set the permissions then. If it fails, talk to your web host.
Kind regards,
