PHP make directory folder

Question

I have already define my selected folder name to create in my mkdir method. But error saying that "mkdir(): No such file or directory". The directory is correct if I removed away the "/"."Folder"."/".

Updated Working code:
$Name = "John";
if(!is_dir("document/".$Name))
{
$dir = "documents/".$Name."/";
    mkdir($dir,0777,true);
    $dir2 = $dir."Folder/";
    mkdir($dir2);
    move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],$dir2."/".$_FILES["file"]["name"]);

}

Are you sure that 'documents/'.$Name; exists? mkdir won't create missing folders in path. — Leri

Yes, it exists. I can successfully created 'documents/'.$Name; But not "documents/".$Name."/"."Folder"."/"; — JLearner

@user976050 The way you use mkdir won't create missing folders. For example, mkdir('document/'.$name); will create folder with the name that will be value of $name. but mkdir('document/'.$name.'/folder'); won't create first folder $name and then "folder" inside if the folder named by $name is missing. — Leri

Try mkdir($dir,0777, true);, "document/".$Name is not a dir yet, so you need to make dir recursive .

@user976050 The third parameter of mkdir let you make dir recursive, did you try it?

Anyway is there any other way I can automatic create the folder behind the "document/".$Name."/". Means create document/Name/Folder, document/Name/Folder1..
