How to determine read only file ?

[wcl99]

Hi !
I am facing a problem with "how to determine read only file" under windows ?? that is, I want to make use of PHP to know the file I opened is read only or not... (Under Windows 98)

Well, I have never used PHP on a windows system, but I guess you could still use the fopen() to determine if the file is read only.

$fp = @fopen("file", "a");
if (!$fp) {
// file is read only
} else {
fclose($fp);
// file is writable
}

Why not just use the function that PHP Provides?

bool is_writable (string filename);
