file_prepare_directory(&$directory, $options = FILE_MODIFY_PERMISSIONS)

Check that the directory exists and is writable.

Directories need to have execute permissions to be considered a directory by FTP servers, etc.

Parameters

&$directory A string reference containing the name of a directory path or URI. A trailing slash will be trimmed from a path.

$options A bitmask to indicate if the directory should be created if it does not exist (FILE_CREATE_DIRECTORY) or made writable if it is read-only (FILE_MODIFY_PERMISSIONS).

Return value

TRUE if the directory exists (or was created) and is writable. FALSE otherwise.
