Question

I have read this:-
Why can't PHP create a directory with 777 permissions?

and I can see a new folder being created by applying the following:-

// Desired folder structure
$structure = "../../../".$flash_dir."HELLO";

// To create the nested structure, the $recursive parameter 
// to mkdir() must be specified.

    $oldmask = umask(0);
    mkdir($structure, 0777);
    umask($oldmask);

when viewing the file permission of HELLO with DreamWeaver, it is 777. However, I suspect it is a Linux 0777 rather than a Windows 777, therefore I still cannot upload things to HELLO.

Will there be any alternative method to create a directory with windows 777? Thanks!

PS. when I manual create a new directory and right click it to set 777, it works perfectly, so I really think it’s related to Linux vs Windows~

Answer 1

0777 is exactly the same thing as 777

But I still can’t say what the problem is. I would try to chmod it again after you’ve created it.

$oldmask = umask(0);
chmod($structure, 0777);
umask($oldmask);
