[SOLVED] mkdir - created dir file permission is 700, not 777

[keeps21]

I have a script containing the code below:

mkdir('/images/galleries/folder', 0777)

 

The problem is that the directory created has the permissions 700, rather than the intended 777, meaning that the dir cannot be written too.

 

Any idea why this is happening?

 

Thanks

I take it that you are on Linux, but if on windows

 

Note: mode  is ignored on Windows.

 

Alternatively you should be able to use chmod after the directory call to set the mode.

Yep it's on linux.

 

Because the mode is ignored on windows the folder can be written to. But on the live server, which is running linux, the permissions are 700 meaning it can't be written to by the image uploading script.

 

Changed the code to the following and it's working as expected.

 

mkdir(ABS_PATH.'/images/galleries/'.$dir, 0777);
chmod(ABS_PATH.'/images/galleries/'.$dir, 0777);

 

cheers
