mkdir("test",0777)

the directory is dwrx-rx-rx, not dwrxwrxwrx :)

Your umask setting is most likely the cause.
Please try this instead:

<?php

$oldumask = umask(0); 
mkdir('mydir', 0777); 
umask($oldumask);

?>

This is not a documentation problem.

This is documentation problem. It should be told on the mkdir() docs that the umask has an affect on the permissions of the created directory.
