Codeigniter not CHMOD 777 directory – CentOS

I can’t find why does my Codeigniter not CHMOD specific directory to 777 from the controller, so looking for some advice on how to solve this.

I’m running centos 7, PHP 7.2

I have a controller with a location: public_html/application/controllers/users.php
And I need to CHMOD directory: public_html/uploads/whatverfolder/userfolder/

public function att() {
$uploaddir = 'uploads/whatverfolder/userfolder';
if (file_exists($uploaddir )) {
echo 'YES DIRECTORY EXIST'; // geting success
@chmod($uploaddir, FILE_WRITE_MODE); // -> not working
chmod($uploaddir, 0777, true); // -> not working
}
}

This is error I’m getting:

ERROR - 11th July 2019 10:10:24 --> Severity: Warning  --> chmod(): Can not call chmod() for a non-standard stream /home/u7658/web/mydomain.com/public_html/application/controllers/users.php 1578
ERROR - 11th July 2019 10:10:24 --> Severity: Warning  --> chmod(): Operation not permitted /home/u7658/web/mydomain.com/public_html/application/controllers/users.php 1585

Also, ownership of the folder to chmod is a root [0] (that’s correct)
Also, that folder has been created by CodeIgniter, by this code (directory has been created but with 775 permission, even when mkdir should create a directory with 777 permission.

$domainpath = "./uploads/domeny/".$ID."/";

// make folder
    if (!file_exists($domainpath)) {
    mkdir($domainpath, 0777, true);
}

I just missing something, thanks for the help!

    The reason was that this specific directory has not been created by mkdir, that directory (due to migration) has been upload by FTP. So, I dont know why but If you upload on my server directory by FTP, then you are not allowed to chmod that directory by php, probably due to OWNER/GROUP perm. But my perm for that folder was root.. so still not sure why, but It's working now.

    Try this, use BASEPATHfrom config to achive absolute path

    $folderPath = '';//here you need to give absolute path i.e C:wampwwwproject_folder/uploads/domeny/
mkdir("$folderPath");
chmod("$folderPath", 0777);
