What are the permissions considerations when creating folders with PHP?

When creating folders with PHP, it is important to consider the permissions of the newly created folder. By default, PHP will create folders with the permissions set by the server's umask setting, which may not always be appropriate. To ensure that the folder has the correct permissions, you can use the `mkdir` function along with the `chmod` function to explicitly set the permissions. 

$folderPath = 'path/to/new/folder';
$permissions = 0777; // Set the desired permissions here

// Create the folder
mkdir($folderPath);

// Set the permissions
chmod($folderPath, $permissions);
