Unable to create subfolders in Automator

Question

Hi!
I'm trying to create a workflow which would basically create a new website project folder structure with a single click. I have an htdocs folder in which I'd like to create a new project folder with a number of subfolders.
htdocs
--prj1
--prj2
--newprj
----img
----css
----js
etc.
What I'm trying to do is 1) ask for text input for a new folder name. 2) write the value to variable `pname`, then 3) creating a folder with this variable's value in htdocs folder and 4) writing the result of this operation to a `ppath` variable. 5) after that create a number of folders with fixed names in `ppath` location.
Instead of that this script creates series of nested folders (for example if I create only 1 subfolder, it generates newprj/css/newprj/css/newprj/css... etc.).
The output results of every step seem to be okay though I still can't get what I want.
Please help.

I think the problem is that "new folder" action copies its input to the folder it creates (see the action description). To get rid of this control-click on the action and select "ignore input".
also, you might want to take a look at the "copy folder structure" action by red_menace.
