chmod directory

[Anon]

HI
Using a PHP script I need to:

1. Create a directory
2. CHMOD the directory to 0777
3. Write a file to the directory
4. CHMOD the directory to 0755

I know how to create the directory and upload to it, but I don't know how to CHMOD a directory. Can you help?

thanks 🙂

Something like this. Without the file part.

// ## Define dir to make ##
$newdir = "/home/apache/htdocs/text";

// ## Check to see if dir exists
if (file_exists($newdir)) die("Error");

// ## If not; Create dir with chmod
mkdir ($newdir, 0777);

// ## CHMOD a dir ##
chmod ($newdir, 0755);
