CHMOD problems

[zzz]

I have a script that creates a directory with CHMOD 777 like this:

$old_umask = umask(0);
mkdir("/my/absolute/path, 0777);

I have another script that suppose to be able to upload files in that directory.

The problem is that if I create a directory manually and set CHMOD 777 I am able to upload files, but if the directory is created with the first script, and I check and CHMOD IS 777 my second script spits an error and tells me to CHMOD that directory to 777...

Is there a bullet proof way of setting CHMOD while creating a new direcrtory?

Oh, yeh, my second script checks permissions like this:

if (!eregi("777",decoct(fileperms($mydir))))

Have you checked the permissions manally, or just with PHP?

I use my FTP client to check permissions. If I right-click it shows it and I can also set it up. When I set permissions with FTP client everything works fine, but when permissions are set with the script, even though the FTP client shows it as 777, it doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Well, in this case it seems as if the second script is suspect; at least that's the impression I get from reading both posts. If you have the handler not check the permissions before moving the uploaded file (or whatever operation you are performing), do you get the expected/desired result?
