Cant use copy on a mkdir folder

[johnrb87]

Hi

 

I have a script

 

mkdir("myitems/images", 0777);

chmod("myitems/images", 0777);

if (!copy('downloads.zip', 'myitems/images/downloads.zip')) {
    echo "failed";
}

 

when I run it, the folder is created and when checking folder permissions, it shows 777

 

but it fails on copying the file.

 

if I manually create the folder "myitems/images/" and set it to 777, then when I run the script, the file is copied

 

for some reason when I manually create the folder it works, but when PHP creates the folder, it fails on something

 

any ideas? racking my brain trying to figure out why

do you get any errors when running this script?

[fugix]

also..the mode for mkdir() is 0777 by default..and does not need to be stated in your function

[johnrb87]

nope, no errors at all, really strange

[fugix]

can you look at the directory that php created....and state what the permissions are on it please

[johnrb87]

777 is set on the folder php creates

[teddyb]

can you try

 

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);

mkdir("myitems/images", 0777);

chmod("myitems/images", 0777);

copy('downloads.zip', 'myitems/images/downloads.zip');

 

and post any warnings / notices
