I have this PHP script:
$dir = FCPATH . 'uploads' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'posts'; // is in CodeIngiter if (!is_dir($dir)) { mkdir($dir, 755); } Which creates a folder for storing posts' images. However I'm getting this error / warning:
Severity: Warning Message: mkdir(): Permission denied and I can't create the folder.
How can I fix this? My folder structure looks like this:
/opt/lampp/htdocs/www/my-site/public/ (uploads/posts) // all folders inside files will generate in php Some further information: if I comment this code, manually create the posts folder and then try to upload a file I get an error saying that the destination path is not writable.
Output of ls -l /opt/lampp/htdocs/www/my-site/:

The problem is in your mkdir() call, not in Ubuntu.
As per your comment, ls -l /opt/lampp/htdocs/www/my-site/public/uploads doesn't exists, so you should call mkdir() passing the recursive parameter:
$dir = '/uploads/posts'; if (!is_dir($dir)) { mkdir($dir, 755, true); }
