Hi Jasper,
When using my Php script, I don't see any error messages.
I have logged in using SSH, but the directories created are
owned by 48 and not my ftp user and so I have to switch
to a super user to make any changes.
Also, even though I use:
mkdir("$endpath", 0777);
The resulting directories end up as 755.
Yeah I have a feeling that you are right, that apache on
my server does not have chown permissions.
Thank you very mych for your help.
Keith

With what error message? Have you tried logging in with SSH or similar and
trying the same command?
More than likely the user apache is running as doesn't have permissions to
chown -- in fact I believe that in order to chown files one must be root
(at least that's the way it seems to work on my system).
You could use chmod instead to allow the "admin" user access to your
files.
