[Resolved] CHMODing newly created files...?

[middleman666]

if this script:

$ourFileName = "testFile.txt";
$ourFileHandle = fopen($ourFileName, 'w') or die("can't open file");
fclose($ourFileHandle); 

creates a file, how would I go about CHMODing it to 777 using a php script?

thanks in advance.

By using [man]chmod[/man]

Make sure you check for the result, as on some installations php isn't allowed to fire off chmod and it's a right pain.

cheers for that guys. I ended up with this:

//---------------CHMOD-------------------------

$ourFileName = "Artist-".$BandName.".php";
$ourFileHandle = fopen($ourFileName, 'w') or die("can't open file");

  if  (!chmod($ourFileName,0777))
  	die ("change permission to 777 failed.");


fclose($ourFileHandle); 

//---------------CHMOD-------------------------

which is just what I wanted 🙂
