chmode with mkidir function, the result isn't as expected

[Matth_S]

Hi,

I've tried to create a directory with the php function mkdir(). I've used a "0777" mode , so that owner,group and other can read,write and exectue files in this directory.
There's no problem creating the directory, but after it has been created, its mode is "0755".

Where did I commit a mistake ?

Thanks

Not sure if you did.

I"d guess the apache user's umask superseded your permission call, but that's just a guess. I'd troll around the man entry for [man]chmod/man and see what I could see.

Hello !

Thanks for your answer ! Your guess, even if it's just a guess, gives me an explanation of what could have happened and why did I get such a result without having commited a mistake. So I don't need to program it another way as it seems no mistake has been done , which was part of my question 🙂
If you find anything else that might explain this result with chmode, please post in this topic !
