mkdir() will only give true or false depending on if it can create the
directory or not.

Usually the user as who the process is run as (web server user or a
normal user) will not have the right to make a directory in the root
file system (path: /), but we assume you have full control of the web
server and can create the directory /uploads and have already made it,
then you need to allow the web server/normal user as whom the php script
is run as to have rwx on that directory.

$path = "/uploads";
$dir = time();
if(file_exists($path)) {
if(file_exists($path."/".$dir)) {
echo "directory {$path}/{$dir} already exists";
} else {
if(mkdir($path."/".$dir,0777,true)) {
echo "Created {$path}/{$dir}";
} else {
echo "Can't create {$path}/{$dir}";
}
}
} else {
echo "{$path} is missing";
}
This is a simple check with a bad way of echoing out results, this don't
check if the file really is a directory, is_dir() will tell you that if
you want to make the check more complete, I suggest you look at
Exceptions instead of just echo everything.
