File::makeDirectory() not creating directory [duplicate]

In my laravel application, I'm trying to make a directory. I use the following code

$localPath = 'something'; File::makeDirectory($localPath);

It creates a directory when I run my application on local server (xampp). But when I host on my application on live server, it does not create the folder locally, instead, it creates the folder on the server under the 'public' folder.

$localPath = 'something'; File::makeDirectory($localPath);

Any help ??
