PHP and WGET generate 0 byte files

I have a problem with PHP where wget generates 0 byte files. Below
is
the code that I use.

// ********************
$savedir = "/webroot/vifs/app/webroot/static/1234567890";
$url = "http://www.google.com";


$test = mkdir( $savedir, 0777);


exec("/usr/bin/wget -nH -nd -d -P$savedir $url");
// ********************


What I have noticed is that if the directory already exists, WGET
works fine. But if the directory is created prior to, as shown in
the
code, WGET generates a file of 0 bytes.


MKDIR always returns successfully.


I've tried inserting a SLEEP(5) after MKDIR and that does not help.


Would anyone know why this is happening?


Thanks

Is safe mode on? I once had a problem with PHP not writing to a
directory that had been chmoded 0777. Turned out the problem was safe
mode. I turned it off and then things worked fine.

However, that is a long shot. My first guess is that this is more of a
wget issue than a PHP issue.

-P$savedir => -P $savedir
