LemonInflux Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 OK, in a matter of speaking, I'm building a script that builds itself. It's working fine, but I was struck with a thought; for some of the files that will be script-created, they will need to be 777 CHMOD value. So is there a code that checks a file's CHMOD value? I basically want to say 'if $file has 777 CHMOD do this, else do this'. I can do the if bit, I was just wondering how I would do the CHMOD bit?

wildteen88 Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 If you want to see if a file/folder is writeable, readable or executable use is_writeable, is_readable or is_executable Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/69460-check-chmod-value/#findComment-349000 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LemonInflux Posted September 15, 2007 Author Share Posted September 15, 2007 ok. Also, I was just browsing, and found this: chmod("path/to/file.something", 0777); would that change file.something's CHMOD value to 777?

wildteen88 Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Yes. It will attempt to change the chmod value of a specified file/folder. Please read the notes carefully for this function in the manual Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/69460-check-chmod-value/#findComment-349003 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LemonInflux Posted September 15, 2007 Author Share Posted September 15, 2007 Read it. Note: This function will not work on remote files as the file to be examined must be accessible via the servers filesystem. What does this mean? I can't change the CHMOD via PHP?
