PHP mkdir 0777 fail chmod 0777 works

My PHP code has something like this:

$success = mkdir($directory_name,
0777, TRUE);

When I look at the actual folder it created, the permissions are 0755. Any ideas what might be causing this?

Answer 1

The actual permissions are impacted by the current umask() value. If it is limited to 755, so will the directory permissions. (It’s xored off the requested 777)
