Question

I know it is easy to see file permissions in php, but I can’t find search reference for directory permissions.

Is is possible to display the folder permission and ownership with php?

If anyone can answer please also provide the example code.

Answer 1

PHP’s fileperms function also works with directories, as you can see in Example #2.

echo substr(sprintf('%o', fileperms('/path/to/directory')), -4);
// prints something like 1777

Use fileowner to get the ID of the user who owns the file/directory.
