In most languages related to Unix in any way, the correct command is usually mkdir.Be sure to sanitize incoming data, or a malicious user may do all kinds of nasty things to your system.You mentioned the button click. Are you also unsure how how to get the correct data from the browser to the server?

i read the mkdir and how can i create i folder name?

The directory name can be anything you want. If you are getting the name from your user, you probably want to allow only certain characters, like letters, numbers, and the _ character. That usually means validating the name with a function that uses regular expressions, like preg_match.The other part of the question is the path to your directory. If your command looks like this: mkdir("something") then the directory will be created in the same directory as your PHP script. If you want the directory to be somewhere else, you will have to pass mkdir a longer path. That means knowing how your server's file system works and how you want your files and directories to be organized.
