create folder in laravel

No, actually it's

File::makeDirectory($path);

Also, you may try this:

$path = public_path().'/images/article/imagegallery/' . $galleryId;File::makeDirectory($path, $mode = 0777, true, true);

Update: Actually it does work, mkdir is being used behind the scene. This is the source:

/** * Create a directory. * * @param  string  $path * @param  int     $mode * @param  bool    $recursive * @param  bool    $force * @return bool */public function makeDirectory($path, $mode = 0777, $recursive = false, $force = false){    if ($force)    {        return @mkdir($path, $mode, $recursive);    }    else    {        return mkdir($path, $mode, $recursive);    }}

For deleting:

public function deleteDirectory($directory, $preserve = false);

Check the source at following path (in your local installation):

root/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Filesystem/Filesystem.php

Thanks to The Alpha. Your answer helped me, here is a laravel 5 way to do it for those who use the later version :

Storage::disk('local')->makeDirectory('path/to');

This will create a directory in storage/app/path/to

Retrieve the directory you just created with :

storage_path('app/path/to')

There's multiple arguments you can use.

You can create a directory using defaults.

$result = File::makeDirectory('/path/to/directory');

This will return true if directory was able to be created in the /path/to directory. The file mode of the created directory is 0777.

You can specify the mode.

$result = File::makeDirectory('/path/to/directory', 0775);

This will return true if directory was able to be created in the /path/to directory. The file mode of the created directory will be 0775.

You can also create the directories recursively.

$result = File::makeDirectory('/path/to/directory', 0775, true);
