mkdir() will only give true or false depending on if it can create the 
directory or not.

Usually the user as who the process is run as (web server user or a 
normal user) will not have the right to make a directory in the root 
file system (path: /), but we assume you have full control of the web 
server and can create the directory /uploads and have already made it, 
then you need to allow the web server/normal user as whom the php script 
is run as to have rwx on that directory.

$path = "/uploads";
$dir = time();

if(file_exists($path)) {
	if(file_exists($path."/".$dir)) {
		echo "directory {$path}/{$dir} already exists";
	} else {
		if(mkdir($path."/".$dir,0777,true)) {
			echo "Created {$path}/{$dir}";
		} else {
			echo "Can't create {$path}/{$dir}";
		}
	}
} else {
	echo "{$path} is missing";
}

This is a simple check with a bad way of echoing out results, this don't 
check if the file really is a directory, is_dir() will tell you that if 
you want to make the check more complete, I suggest you look at 
Exceptions instead of just echo everything.
