This works for me in one of my scripts.
If the directory with the username of the operator uploading a
file.does not exist, it is created and the file uploaded into it. If
it does exist, the file is uploaded into it.
The key piece seemed to be the -
$oldumask=umask(0);

HTH.

<?
session_start();
$username=$_SESSION['username'];
if (!is_dir($username))
{
// create the directory and put the file into this directory;
$oldumask=umask(0);
mkdir($username, 0777) or die ("Could not make directory");
umask($oldumask);
chdir($username);
copy ($file, "$file_name");
}
else
{
// put the file into this directory;
chdir($username);
copy ($file, "$file_name");
}
?>
