returning file mode

[focusbeam]

hi is there a way to return the file mode of a file (eg. 755,644,etc)? I only found one function relates to file mode, and it's chmod(). but this only changes it doesn't return the file mode.

thx

and to get that number to proper decimal base 10 format that you would use to chmod, you can use this:

<?php

$file = "test.txt";
clearstatcache();
$chmod = substr(base_convert(fileperms($file), 10, 8), -3);

echo $chmod;

?>
