mkdir problems

[Twentyoneth]

Ok, I have a dir called "stylists" which will contain stylists names as dir's. Like so:

stylists >> thomas
stylists >> stacy
stylists >> albert

ect...

I have this code for adding a profile, which includes making a directory if one by that name doesnt exist.

[code]<?php
$user = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['UserName'];

if($user == "******") {

if($_POST['Add/Update']) {

   $euser = $_POST['euser'];
   $ppic = $HTTP_POST_FILES['ppic'];
   $ebody = stripslashes($_POST['ebody']);
   $before = $_POST['before'];
   $after = $_POST['after'];
   $title = stripslashes($_POST['bnatitle']);

   $makedir = ("stylists/" . $euser);
   $writedir = ("stylists/" . $euser . "/");

   if($euser !== null) {

      if(!is_dir($makedir)) {

         mkdir($makedir, 0777);

        }

     }

  }
  }

?>[/code]

The problem I am having, is that once I make the directory, I cannot use it for anything, I cannot even upload files into that directory via FTP. This script will aslo be uploading a user pic, a bio, and a short summary, along with some before and after photo's. So actually using this dir is vital. What the problem with my script? Permissions? How do I fix it?

[NOTE: This is only up until the make directory part of the code, which is seemingly where my problem is.]

I tued using the "umask" function with no luck, I'm not 100% sure on how to use it properly, so I am providing my full code for further help.

[code]<?php
$user = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['UserName'];

if($user == "******") {

if($_POST['Add/Update']) {

   $euser = $_POST['euser'];
   $ppic = $HTTP_POST_FILES['ppic'];
   $ebody = stripslashes($_POST['ebody']);
   $before = $HTTP_POST_FILES['before'];
   $after = $HTTP_POST_FILES['after'];
   $title = stripslashes($_POST['bnatitle']);

   $makedir = ("stylists/" . $euser);
   $writedir = ("stylists/" . $euser . "/");

   if($euser !== null) {
      if(!is_dir($makedir)) {
         mkdir($makedir);
        }
      if($HTTP_POST_FILES['ppic'] == null) {
        } else {
         $newname = ($writedir . "ppic.jpg");
         $uploadfile = ($writedir . basename($HTTP_POST_FILES['ppic']['name']));
         echo ($newname['dirname'] . "<br>");
         echo ($newname['basename'] . "<br>");
         echo ($newname['extension'] . "<br>");
         if (m ove_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['ppic']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
             r ename("$uploadfile", "$newname");
             echo ("File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.<br><br>");
            } else {

Some changes made.....The permissions are the same as other folders I am allowed to upload and create files in, but when I try, it wont let me create or upload, what do I need to do to fix this, anyone?

[Twentyoneth]

Does anyone know what I should do?

[Twentyoneth]

Anyone?

The problem is getting very sticky for me, I am a newb, and I have written this code, it's the first time I have used the mkdir() function, and its confusing me, it sets permissions as 0777, in my FTP file manager it shows that it has the same permissions as other directories that I created using my FTP file manager, but it wont let me do anything with the directory, except delete it, through the FTP file manager, how do I make it useable?
