Got this from http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mkdir.php :
int mkdir ( string pathname [, int mode])
mkdir ("/path/to/my/dir", 0700);
The mode is 0777 by default, which means the widest possible access.
<edit>It appears scroots was too fast for me :)</edit>

I know there is number at the end, but on the www.php.net page says
Note: Mode is ignored on Windows, and became optional in PHP 4.2.0.
I don't think I need the number anymore?
Also says
The mode is also modified by the current umask, what is umask??

chmod'ing (the numbers) is for unix only, for a windows machine you can ignore that
