JFolder :: create：无法创建目录Joomla

Question

I'm using below PHP code here to create a particular folder if it didn't exist. I'm using joomla 2.5

$path = my/path/goes/here;
$folder_permissions = "0755";
$folder_permissions = octdec((int)$folder_permissions);
//create folder if not exists
if (!JFolder::exists($path)){
     JFolder::create($path, $folder_permissions);          
}

But this code throws below error

JFolder::create: Could not create directory

What could be the reason for this?

Answer 1

2 things I think might be causing the problem:

1. You forgot a ; on the end of octdec((int)$folder_permissions)
2. Try removing the whole line $folder_permissions = octdec((int)$folder_permissions)

Update: This is what I used to create a simple folder:

$destination = JPATH_SITE.'/'."modules/mod_login";
$folder_name = "new_folder";
JFolder::create($destination .'/'. $folder_name, 0755);
