Conceptually, fopen() is really just a wrapper for the C fopen() function,
which behaves the same way. Since mkdir() does have a recursive option, I don't
think there's much value in adding another variation to how fopen() behaves â
there are enough already.

Description:
------------
Currently, fopen allows you to create new files, but not in directories that
don't
exist - for example, if you want to write to /tmp/logs/something.log, you have
to
check that /tmp/logs exists every time, before running your fopen.
It would be convenient if you could pass a flag to fopen to tell it to
recursively
create any missing directories in the path, in order to open the file.
Test script:
---------------
fopen('/tmp/logs/test.log', 'w'); // fails if logs doesn't exist
mkdir('/tmp/logs');
fopen('/tmp/logs/test.log', 'w'); // fails if logs does exist
