I am not sure what precisely your question is - you want to use a php script to create a directory in a unix-like server, or, when you create a directory in the document tree, you need php to add a link to that directory?

Please advise and you'll get an answer.

Using PHP's mkdir function, also check if the directory exists. You can also use exec which can execute OS command line from within PHP. In either case, look at PHP's website for more info.

$temp_path = "some_path/".$name_of_directory."/";
if(!file_exists($temp_path))
{
     mkdir($temp_path, 0777);
     echo "<a href=\"".$temp_path."\" target=\"_self\">Link Text</a>";
}
$temp_path = "some_path/".$name_of_directory."/";
if(!file_exists($temp_path))
{
     mkdir($temp_path, 0777);
     echo "<a href=\"".$temp_path."\" target=\"_self\">Link Text</a>";
