The PHP function mkdir return false when the directory already exists: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mkdir.php#refsect1-function.mkdir-returnvalues If the directory that we is trying to create already exists, would be good to return success and consider that the folder exists to prevent fatal error because the scenario about existing folder is not covered now.

Why not the opposite?
Check with is_dir first, try to mkdir after it needed?

I made the most simple way to don't generate big impacts at the code. The original code generates an error, I only wrapped the error with a condition to prevent generate the error when the directory exists.
Thinking more, If we check if is a directory before make the directory, will be in the most cases, a more step. I think that is most fast only check if the path is a directory after the command mkdir return false. Create the directory is the main objective, if works fine, we don't do nothing, we only need to check if is a dir to prevent to generate a wrong error (reading, wrong error sounds strange 😂).

Should avoid things like these, where the folder indeed exists ond disk (race condtion?): |
Was exactly this the error that I fixed. |

The PHP function mkdir return false when the directory already exists:
https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mkdir.php#refsect1-function.mkdir-returnvalues
If the directory that we is trying to create already exists, would be good to return success and consider that the folder exists to prevent fatal error because the scenario about existing folder is not covered now.
How to reproduce this:
Try to create a folder that already exists.
