Creates a folder and all necessary parent folders. Thus, if invoked to create a folder called ‘level1/level2/level3/newfolder’ it will create the ‘level1’, ‘level2’ and ‘level3’ folders if they do not exist and will then create the ‘newfolder’ folder. If safe mode is enabled, FTP will be used to create the folder (if it is enabled). This method will not create a folder if the ‘open_basedir’ parameter is set and the specified folder is not in the allowed base folder. This function returns true on success, false otherwise.

boolean create ( $path, $mode )

jimport( 'joomla.filesystem.folder' );
if (JFolder::create( 'test2/test' )) {
    echo "Folder successfully created!";
} else {
    echo "Folder creation failed!";
}

might produce:

Folder successfully created!
