php - Problem creating folders with right access for file uploade

Hi,

Using php I'm trying to dynamically create a folder and files within the folder.

If I use mkdir($titlefolder, 0777);

It doesn't create the folders as I expect. They have rwx r-x r-x access But I need to have at least rwx r-x rwx access as I did before to create the files.

Because the user is set to apache I can't change the access manually.

What can I do to get the access I need? Is there some way to sign in to my domain so it will allow me to do what I want?

Thanks,
Travis

 

You could use chown

 

hi,

I guess, php could be run in safe mode.
once I faced this problem and coded a small script to connect via ftp (in code) and change file/folder permissions.

 

I had a look at chown but it appears to only work for files not directories. I may be wrong.

The ftp method sounds interesting. Any ideas on how the code would look?

Thanks,
Travis

 

<?php
$ftp_server = 'ftp.yoursite.com';
$ftp_user_name = 'username';
$ftp_user_pass = 'password';

$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server); 

$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass); 

if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) { 
		echo "FTP connection has failed!";
		echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user $ftp_user_name"; 
		exit; 
} else {
		echo "Connected to $ftp_server, for user $ftp_user_name<br>";
}

// the home directory / the folder you change permissions
$dir = 'httpdocs/permissionforthisfolder';

// try to create the directory $dir
if (ftp_mkdir($conn_id, $dir)) {
 echo "successfully created $dir<br>";
} else {
 echo "There was a problem while creating $dir<br>";
}

if (ftp_chmod($conn_id, 0777, $dir) !== false) {
 echo "$dir chmoded successfully to 777<br>";
} else {
 echo "could not chmod $dir<br>";
}
?>
