Change Permission With Php Code - code to change files' and folders' permissions?

snlildude87
As everyone know, there two ways (that I can think of) to change files' and directories' permissions. One is to change it in your cPanel's Disk Manager and the other is with an FTP client that supports chmod.

Well, I'm doing something for my site that requires files to have full permissions (Execute, Write, and Read on all three groups). At first, I thought that if I made the directory 777, then every file created in that directory will be 777 as well. I'm wrong. An alternative to doing this is to change each file permission myself, but that would be too much work.

So my question is: is there a way to change file permission with PHP? Like a code in PHP that would change the files' permission?

Thanks in advance! smile.gif

you can make a php script to change all the file permissions. It is pretty easy, you just have to cycle through every file in a directory and use the chmod command. See http://us3.php.net/chmod for details on the codes for chmod.

CODE

$path="yourdirectory";
$dh = opendir($path);
while ($temp = readdir($dh)) {
if ($temp!='.' && $temp!='..' && $temp!='.htaccess') chmod($temp,777); }


you can even make a php page that has a form so you can enter the directory name via a text input field. But, that might be a security risk though...

Hi Dear snlildude87 in some servers this fucn is close , you must use ftp or filemanager . this fuc run at global_register ,
Your can find this fucn at php.net

Change Permission With Php Code

Replying to no9t9
Can you share your solution or php script that changes permission? Also, is there a way that I can make a php script that changes ownership of files and folders.

If so, can you help me by sending or pasting the php script code that I can upload to server and try. Thank you.

    I am quite new to PHP and this concern came to my mind after playing around a bit with it... When
    PHP is not correctly configured on the web server the source code of a php file we try to access
    through a browser will be shown instead of the result of the code itself. This will normally not
    happen when PHP is working properly, but I was just wondering if it could still be possible to see
    that code if a user wanted to or if something on the server failed. This would for example expose
