bool chmod ( string $filename, int $mode )
Attempts to change the mode of the specified file to that given in mode.
- filename
- Path to the file.
- mode
- Note that mode is not automatically assumed to be an octal value, so strings (such as "g+w") will not work properly. To ensure the expected operation, you need to prefix mode with a zero (0):
The mode parameter consists of three octal number components specifying access restrictions for the owner, the user group in which the owner is in, and to everybody else in this order. One component can be computed by adding up the needed permissions for that target user base. Number 1 means that you grant execute rights, number 2 means that you make the file writeable, number 4 means that you make the file readable. Add up these numbers to specify needed rights. You can also read more about modes on Unix systems with 'man 1 chmod' and 'man 2 chmod'.
<?phpchmod("/somedir/somefile", 755); // decimal; probably incorrectchmod("/somedir/somefile", "u+rwx,go+rx"); // string; incorrectchmod("/somedir/somefile", 0755); // octal; correct value of mode?><?php// Read and write for owner, nothing for everybody elsechmod("/somedir/somefile", 0600);// Read and write for owner, read for everybody elsechmod("/somedir/somefile", 0644);// Everything for owner, read and execute for otherschmod("/somedir/somefile", 0755);// Everything for owner, read and execute for owner's groupchmod("/somedir/somefile", 0750);?>
