mkdir(): Permission denied Permissions is set – Apache

I know there is a lot of answers for this already but it just doesn’t work.

I am trying to make my php script to create a folder on my ubuntu apache server.

if (!@mkdir($url, 0700, true)) {
    $error = error_get_last();
    echo $error['message'];
}

Now I have changed the permission for www-data to 777 and www-data owns the folder var/www/html and all of the subdirectories.

Now what to do?

The $url I pass is /files/test3

I have tested with /files/test3/ as well but that doesn’t work.

Edit:

This is how my files are sorted atm using tree

    You are trying to make a folder with an absolute path (/files/test3) which literally makes /files/test3 [which you probably do not own /files, and cannot make folders off / because you’re not root], not /var/www/html/files/test3.

    You can use __DIR__ . '/' . $url or set $url to files/test3 instead.

    Try this:

    $url = '~/files/test3/';

if (!mkdir($url, 0700, true)) {
    $error = error_get_last();
    echo $error['message'];
}

    Should create a folder files, with another folder test3 inside of it, in the home directory.
