Here's the correct code for making recursive directories:
<?php
// function
function ftp_mksubdirs($ftpcon,$ftpbasedir,$ftpath){
@ftp_chdir($ftpcon, $ftpbasedir); // /var/www/uploads
$parts = explode('/',$ftpath); // 2013/06/11/username
foreach($parts as $part){
if(!@ftp_chdir($ftpcon, $part)){
ftp_mkdir($ftpcon, $part);
ftp_chdir($ftpcon, $part);
//ftp_chmod($ftpcon, 0777, $part);
}
}
}
// usage
$path_of_storage = '/var/www/uploads';
$newftpdir = '2013/06/11/username';
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftpserver);
ftp_login($conn_id, $login, $pass);
ftp_mksubdirs($conn_id,$path_of_storage,$newftpdir);
ftp_close($conn_id);
?>
ftp_mkdir
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)
ftp_mkdir — Creates a directory
Descrierea
ftp_mkdir
( resource
$ftp_stream
, string $directory
) : string
Creates the specified directory on the FTP server.
Parametri
-
ftp_stream -
The link identifier of the FTP connection.
-
directory -
The name of the directory that will be created.
Valorile întoarse
Returns the newly created directory name on success or false on error.
Exemple
Example #1 ftp_mkdir() example
<?php
$dir = 'www';
// set up basic connection
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
// try to create the directory $dir
if (ftp_mkdir($conn_id, $dir)) {
echo "successfully created $dir\n";
} else {
echo "There was a problem while creating $dir\n";
}
// close the connection
ftp_close($conn_id);
?>

if(!@ftp_chdir($ftpcon, $part)){
ftp_mkdir($ftpcon, $part);
ftp_chdir($ftpcon, $part);
//ftp_chmod($ftpcon, 0777, $part);
}
This if part of answer below, if you want working chmod you need to replace it with:
if(!@ftp_chdir($ftpcon, $part)){
ftp_mkdir($ftpcon, $part);
ftp_chmod($ftpcon, 0777, $part);
ftp_chdir($ftpcon, $part);
}

For recurrent following function work better.
Some ftp servers (like WarFTP) become demented if you'll
try mkdir not from root dir and if path will be relative.
The second if one of dir (like '/') already exist You'll get access denied.
<?php
function MkDir($path)
{
$dir=split("/", $path);
$path="";
$ret = true;
for ($i=0;$i<count($dir);$i++)
{
$path.="/".$dir[$i];
echo "$path\n";
if(!@ftp_chdir($this->conn_id,$path)){
@ftp_chdir($this->conn_id,"/");
if(!@ftp_mkdir($this->conn_id,$path)){
$ret=false;
break;
}
}
}
return $ret;
}
?>

When trying to user the ftp_mkdir, or ftp_chdir I've noticed that some servers like the entire path such as
/usr/local/home/username/sitename/directory/
and other servers, want you to use the path from the initial login, such as just /sitename/directory/
Just wanted to pass this on

Updated and correct code for making recursive directories:
/**
* A function to create ftp directories recursively.
*
* @param $ftpcon the ftp connection resource
* @param $baseDir
* @param $path
* @param int $mode
* @return bool
*/
function ftp_mksubdirs($ftpcon, $baseDir, $path, $mode = 0775) {
$path = dirname($path);
if ($baseDir !== DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR && strpos($path, $baseDir) !== false) {
if (empty($path)) {
// $baseDir equals to $path, it can only mean that this folder already exists
return false;
}
if ($path[0] == DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR) {
$path = substr($path, 1);
}
} else {
if ($path[0] == DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR) {
$path = substr($path, 1);
}
}
@ftp_chdir($ftpcon, $baseDir);
$parts = explode(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $path);
$created = [];
foreach ($parts as $part) {
if (!@ftp_chdir($ftpcon, $part)) {
$createdDir = @ftp_mkdir($ftpcon, $part);
if ($createdDir !== false) {
ftp_chmod($ftpcon, $mode, $createdDir);
}
$created[] = $createdDir;
@ftp_chdir($ftpcon, $part);
}
}
return !in_array(false, $created);
}
