umask

[Neptunus Maris]

Hi peoples...I'm trying to figure out why I can't view a fdirectory when I make a new directory and copy files over to it. I get a Forbidden Access error.

 

 

Someone suggested umask() function and I also checked it out on php.net

 

So...for example would this work to create a new directory, copy files over to it and then go in that directory and view files, using the umask function...even if you execute it in the directory you are already in but not the new one?:

 

<?php
$newDir = $_POST[new_dir];

umask(0755);
mkdir($newDir);

//now copy it from some other directory up one level from the current directory

$filename = "../myfilename.php"; //lets just say its a php or an html web file.

copy($filename, $newDir);

//redirect if you want
header("Loction: $newDir/myfilename.php");
exit;
?>

 

 

Now does that work?  ???

What?

 

Get a FTP client tool, and change the CHMOD properties.

No I'm just talking about general folder making and permissions setting without having to set them everytime over and over again. Do it once with some function.
