Description: ------------ When creating a directory, the goal is for the directory to exist. If the directory already exists, mkdir() fails. This is a problem for recursive directory creation when an absolute path is passed in. A possible solution is to first pwd and save, then attempt to cd to the new dir, and if this succeeds, don't try to create the dir. If it fails, then cd back to saved pwd. I need this fix in order to use Net_FTP for implementing remote install through the PEAR installer. If you don't wish to implement this, I'll just extend Net_FTP and override mkdir(), no big deal.

This bug has been fixed in CVS. In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up at the end of next Sunday (CET) on pear.php.net. In case this was a pear.php.net website problem, the change will show up on the website in short time. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PEAR better.
