title: mkdir() not working
body: <p>My code</p>
  
  <pre><code>mkdir("/some/absolute/path",0777);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and</p>
  
  <pre><code>mkdir("relative/path", 0777);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>is not working, safe mode is turned off, and I've even tried setting all of the parent folders to 777.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: I do have error reporting turned on, in my frustration I've 777'd the whole path just to make sure that, that isn't the issue.  It's gotta be something stupidly simple going on.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT EDIT: Upvotes for everyone who responded with suggestions... But I'm not going to select an answer since this still isn't resolved, but then again I think this is going to be one of those ones left open forever.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT x 3:  So I have the most unsatisfactory resolution to this question ever... I started with a clean VM image, retried it and it works now.  No joke.</p>
