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`;
