Question

Didn’t got any luck finding an answer on google , so this is my last try before trying other methods.

I have a script like this:

        // get current year and month
        $cur_year = date('Y');
        $cur_month = date('m');
        $long_type = $this->getFile_longtype();

        $folder = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/".FOLDER_CMS."/uploads/$long_type/$cur_year/$cur_month";

        // check whether the folder exists
        if(!is_dir($folder)){

            // try to make the folder recursively
            if(!mkdir($folder,"0777",true)){

                logError($message, __FILE__, __LINE__);
                throw new Exception("Failure creating proper directories");

            }

        }

to make it work , I chmod’ed the uploads directory and all it’s files and dirs to 777 ( beter suggestion here? )

The long type evaluates to ‘images’ and this is a directory has already been created on the server.

Now , the script create the folder named with year with the permissions 341. This not wat I want because it terminates the recursive folder buildup or blocks it’s content from me.

Any help or suggestions?

Answer 1

Don’t use the string “0777”, use 0777.
