t3lib_div::mkdir_deep() is what you're looking for.
The first parameter is the directory path you want to create.
The second parameter is optional and kept for backwards compatibility (= 
it was used in the past but we don't want to break code which still uses it)

The difference with PHP mkdir is that the TYPO3 version not only sets 
the mask to the value in the Install Tool ['BE']['folderCreateMask'], 
but also makes sure the group is set to the Install Tool setting 
['BE']['createGroup'].

Just use t3lib_div::mkdir_deep() and forget about the second parameter.
