CHMOD in PHP


gileze

Recommended Posts

Here is a breakdown of chmod. Even though php usesthe 4 digit code, ie 0755 only the last tree really mean anything.

I will use and example of 0764 as a chmod

0 = Sort of a buffer for php leave it at 0
7 = Owners Rights //Owners position
6 = Group Rights //Group position
4 = Everyone elses writes //Everyone position

The digit can be any of the defined value (explained in a second) the position is important.

Now the numbers are derived like so

1 = Execute
2 = Write
4 = Read

So what you do is add up the permissions you want to give and use that number in the position you want.

Example above 764 mean

Owner has full access Read, Write, Execute 4+2+1=7
Group has Read, Write 4+2=6
Everyone has Read 4

Hope that helps
