[RESOLVED] mkdir CHMOD incorrect

mOleCuleZz

Hello,
I am trying to make some directories with specified CHMOD but it doesn't set the right CHMOD.
When directories are created they have CHMOD 755.
What can be the cause of this ?

$dir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/_lib/photos/'.$id;

if(!is_dir($dir)){
	mkdir($dir, 0777);
	mkdir($dir.'/websize', 0777);
	mkdir($dir.'/thumbsize', 0777);
}

The account under which PHP runs on your server does not have the right to set the folder permissions as you are specifying.

I just used this code earlier to change some directory chmods and it worked just fine.

chmod("/somedir/somefile", 0777);

If that's true then surely this would work, no? ...

<?php
$dir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/_lib/photos/'.$id;

if(!is_dir($dir)){
    mkdir($dir);
    chmod($dir, 0777);

mkdir($dir.'/websize');
chmod($dir.'/websize', 0777);

mkdir($dir.'/thumbsize');
chmod($dir.'/thumbsize', 0777);
} 
?>

PS Have a look at the manual entry for mkdir(). The comments at the bottom of the page could well solve the problem for you. Let us know if any actually do!!

Tnx paulnaj... it worked perfectly.
But even with the default chmod755, I was able to upload files to these directories.

But as u've seen in my other post. I still have a different problem. 🙁

Didn't notice I was answering two of your replies at the same time ... at least I'm consistent.

Got to say, I'm surprised it worked! I'm sure I've tried that myself and it didn't work so maybe it's somewhat server dependent.

Whatever works, eh!

Quick question... How do you check the chmod of folders?

I just use my FTP program it has a column called attributes and it shows rwxrwxrwx or whatever the chmod is for the specified folder or file.
