[Resolved] Unable to remove folders created with mkdir()

[dougmcc1]

I'm using this code to create subdirectories:

$path="/home/lcdinwcy/public_html/$section/$newdirname";
$addeddir=mkdir($path, 0777)

Once they're created, I can't delete them. It says permission denied and the permission is set to 755. When I change it to 777 with my FTP client, it doesn't take effect. The permission is still set at 755 and I'm still unable to remove the folder.

I now have about 10 test folders I created that I can't delete.

Any ideas on how to delete them? Can I modify my code somehow to create subdirectories that I can delete?

Thanks.

$addeddir=mkdir($path, 0777)

makes me believe you're creating them as 777, not 755. Anyway, food for thought. Try chmodding them after creation. Try chgrp and chown. If none of those work, kick the computer, open a beer, and try again tomorrow (seems to work for me)

I think my host changes the 0777 to 0755. I'll try chmod and unmask(0). Otherwise, a good kick and a cold beer sounds good.

Kick and a beer worked great. Thanks.
