mkdir() folder permissions problem

mpar612

My code is quite long, so I am going to avoid posting all of it.

I am trying to create a folder with permissions set to 0777.

Here is the code I am using:

mkdir("../Lounge/audio/$audio_dir_new", 0777);

This code creates the directory, but the permissions are set to 755. I have other php scripts that will write to this directory or delete this directory and they don't work.

Does anyone have any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

IS safemode on?

Note: When safe mode is enabled, PHP checks whether the files or directories you are about to operate on have the same UID (owner) as the script that is being executed.

If Safe Mode isn't enabled, you could try using [man]umask/man as well.

Thanks for your help!!!

After a few days of ripping my hair out and talking to my isp, this issue is not with the folder permissions but with mime types.

I am trying to take an mp3 that a user uploads via a form and transfer it to a new directory. For security purposes, I would like to limit the types of files uploaded strictly to mp3's. I have no idea why this won't work.

Could I be missing out on some mime types? Could someone recommend another way to do this?

Thanks!

They following code uploads the file, but will not move it to the specified directory.

$filetypes = array ('audio/mpeg');
   	if (in_array($_FILES['song1']['type'], $filetypes)){
	 $audio_name = $_FILES['song1']['name'];
	 $audio_uploaddir = "../audio/$audio_dir_new/";
     if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['song1']['tmp_name'], $audio_uploaddir.'/'.$audio_name)) {
        print("file upload was successful");
      	  } else {
        print("file upload failed");
      	  }
    } else {
    print "Please use an mpeg";
    }

Now, if I strip off trying to limit the type of file uploaded using the following code, everything works.

$_FILES['song1']['type'];
	 $audio_name = $_FILES['song1']['name'];
	 $audio_uploaddir = "../audio/$audio_dir_new/";
     if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['song1']['tmp_name'], $audio_uploaddir.'/'.$audio_name)) {
        print("file upload was successful");
      	  } else {
        print("file upload failed");
      	  }
