problems with chmod permissions

1 New Member
I am having problem in chmod permission settings
Here is script
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <?php 
  2. $uploaddir = $_POST['uploaddir'];
  3. $dirsplit = $uploaddir;
  4. list($var1, $var2) = explode('/', $dirsplit);
  5. if(!(is_dir(realpath("/uploads"))))
  6. {
  7.    mkdir("uploads/".$var2."/", 0777);
  8. }
  9. ?>
Now the script creates folder name of variable $var2. However it assigns chmod 755 only. If i put chmod 0333 in the script, it creates folder with permission of 311. My main aim is to create permissions on 777 where user can upload files.

Manually I can set any permission of any folder.

(PHP 4.3.4) THIS IS DRIVING ME NUTS! I have a website where I offer members their own bit of webspace to use and am coding a very simple 'filemanager' that allows a user to upload, delete, and edit text files (members, of course, will not have normal sign-on FTP access to the site - I just limit them to their own folder space). I'm hitting a real problem with file and directory permissions, in that it seems I'm experiencing...

Hi i'm having a problem with file permissions of upload, they appear to be being set to only readable by the administrator, so anyone browsing the site gets a 403 forbidden error when they try and view the image. I've tried adding the following line: - chmod($uploadfile, 444); and also a few variations on it but to no avail.

Hi, I'm working on a program in VC++ right now that needs to set file permissions of a given file to 766 (read/write/execute). Now I've found the _chmod() function in the API help docs, but that only caters for read/write. Is there ANY way of setting 766 to a file through C++ at all? Many thanks. Mike

Ok, so now I have a very interesting problem, this time related to os.chmod. I have the following in a text file: 0600. My script reads that number as a string and converts it to an integer for use with chmod. However, when I do this, instead of the rw------ permissions that I expect, I get ---x-wx--T. I tried placing 0600 directly in the command (chmod(filename, 0600)), and that worked as expected (I got rw------). So then I entered...

Hi, I am at the base of an FTP thingy i'm building, and i noticed that it would only work if i chmod the folder 777, i thought to remember correctly that previously on another site chmod 744 was enough, now it isn't. Am i mistaking, and should it always be 777 ? And isn't a chmodded 777 folder much more vulnerable? Frizzle.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
