Solution :
-----------
First of all, the current mkdir command needs to have an access mode
specified... this is not the case so:
mkdir("c:/PHPquickdirtest1");
becomes
mkdir("c:/PHPquickdirtest1", 0777);
This is not really a problem, though a this must depend on your version
of PHP, as on my home programming box, the first line is OK, but a
version under Windows NT 4 running a different version, the second line
is the only one valid.
Secondly, PHP needs the leading 0 for any mode access, so
chmod("c:/PHPquickdirtest1", 777);
becomes
chmod("c:/PHPquickdirtest1", 0777);
From here, I can access directories and delete them without any
problems. rmdir and chmod problems solved.
Bug :
-----
On my NT 4 test box, after doing a chmod 777, the directory was created,
and when I wanted to delete by hand, there was a Windows error message
"This folder is a read-only folder. Are you sure"... chmod 777 sets the
read-only attribute!
Under Windows XP Home, the directory is also read-only - the bug is that
when you delete it by hand, there is no warning of this attribute! -
Just the plain old Windows "are you sure" message... If you do not think
to do a right-click > properties, you will never know what directories
are standard and what are read-only when you delete them by hand, so the
protections provided by the read-only attribute are no longer a
protection... Well done Bill!
Cheers, and thanks for all your help,
Daniel
