How to create folder using a controller function on laravel

Question

how can i create a folder using a controller function?

(Routes and all are good, but don't know how to make the folder)

I have a simple form for example:

<form method="POST" action="{{ route('admin.projects.store') }}" enctype="multipart/form-data">
      <div class="form-group">
        <label name="title">Slug:</label>
        <input type="text" id="slug" name="slug" placeholder="ejemplo-de-slug" class="form-control form-control-sm">
      </div>
</form>

Route in web.php:

Route::post('projects/postUpload', ['uses' => 'AdminController@storeProject', 'as' => 'admin.projects.store']);

I want to put to the folder the same name of the slug.

public function storeProject()
    {
        return ;
    }

Know how to do it?

use mkdir(path,mode,recursive,context) function

The best practice is to use Storage:

Storage::makeDirectory($directory);

It will create a new folder on specified disk (local storage, AWS etc).

If you want to create a new folder on the local disk, you can use File facade:

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

I have to put: File::makeDirectory('/assets/img/projects/hola', 0775,true); and i get the error: mkdir() permission denied. i'm using nginx

@LluísPuigFerrer it's not related to Laravel. You can use chmod command to fix permissions, but do not do that, it's a terrible idea. Use storage directory to store uploaded stuff. Or use services like AWS. But do not use assets directory. If you want to have access to uploaded files, you need to create a symbilic link. Read this: laravel.com/docs/5.4/filesystem#the-public-disk

the problem is that i need to create a folder when i create a new project. And then, in the form will be 2 pics and i need store it in the folder.. a bit confusing for me, i will try to make a directory changing permision and then use storage.
