AFAIK the script below should be able to create dirs then
but i get the following error:

Warning: mkdir(testdir): Permission denied in
/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/host.com/httpdocs/test/mkdir.php on line 5

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by

<?php

if(isset( $_POST['dir'] ))
{
mkdir( $_POST['dir'], 0755 );
header('Location: '.$PHP_SELF);
};


?><form action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>" method="post"
name="mkdirtest" target="_top" id="mkdirtest">
<label for="dir">dir</label>
<input type="text" name="dir" id="dir"<?php echo isset( $_POST['dir']
) ? ' value="'.$_POST['dir'].'"' : '' ?>>
<label for="Submit"></label>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="mkdir!" id="Submit">
</form><?php

$handle = opendir('.');

while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
if ($file != "." && $file != ".." ) {
echo $file.'<br>';
};
};

closedir( $handle );

?>
