mkdir in existing directory

[metaphist]

I'm trying to make a new directory in an existing one. I'm doing something like:

 

mkdir(existingfolder/existingfolder/newfolder, 0755, true);

 

However, this makes a whole new nested directory instead of putting "newfolder" within the existing folders. Do I have to navigate to the existing directories first or something?

I do this on a couple of sites.  Here is the code I use:

 

$path = 'existingfolder/existingfolder/newfolder/';
mkdir($path,0777);
chmod($path,0777);

Whoops! Turned out to be a typo on my part, so it was making a new one with the typo. Now I feel dumb
