How does one set directory permissions in PHP? The manual only refers
to chmod function changing permissions for files. I try to use it for
directories but it didn't work.

In what way did it not work? Because that's the correct function to use.

You ARE enclosing the directory path in quotes, right?
chmod("./directoryname/", 0777);

What is the owner of the directory?
What user is the PHP process running as (e.g. 'apache', 'daemon', 'www', etc)?
If these don't match, you can't change the permissions because the OS
won't let PHP do it.

The directory is under apache web root directory. Its currently set to
755. I am running PHP under apache.

But again, who is the owner? And what is the user Apache is running under?

AND WHAT USER OWNS IT? (Hint: under UNIX, "ls -ld" will tell you this.
Under PHP, the stat() or fileowner() function will give the numeric user id,
and the posix_getpwnam() function will translate that to a name.)

AS WHAT USER?
(Hint: under UNIX, various forms of ps will give the user name running
the 'httpd' or 'apache' process. ) This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
