Neptunus Maris Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 When and where is the best time to execute the umask function? Because everytime I create a new directory I can never read it because I'm not doing something right with the permissions. Like: mkdir("mynewdir", 0755); <-- or I could have. Then when I go to access any of the files in that directory that I have copied over or something I get an error. So could I do something like this?: umask(0755); mkdir("mynewdir"); I'm just trying understand these permission settings...I know the number settings on giving what permissions...but how to implement it properly is what I'm having trouble with. Thanks, Neptune Your Sea God (lol) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/84632-how-to-use-umask/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken2k7 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Shouldn't umask(0755); go after the directory? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/84632-how-to-use-umask/#findComment-431246 Share on other sites More sharing options...
