Jeff,

The value you pass into mkdir() is always AND'd with the current
umask. To be certain that the dir's permissions are set to exactly
what you pass, first clear the umask, as in:

if(!is_dir($id)) {
    $root = getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT');
    $id = $root . '/pic_test/' . $id;
    $old_umask = umask(0000);
    mkdir($id,0777);
    umask($old_umask);
}

You could just set umask to 0000 at the top of your script, but
make sure you understand the full ramifications of doing that.
