File Permissions and CHMOD: How to set 777 in PHP upon file creation?
PHP has a built in function called bool chmod(string $filename, int $mode )
http://php.net/function.chmod
private function writeFileContent($file, $content){
$fp = fopen($file, 'w');
fwrite($fp, $content);
fclose($fp);
chmod($file, 0777); //changed to add the zero
return true;
}
You just need to manually set the desired permissions with chmod()
:
private function writeFileContent($file, $content){
$fp = fopen($file, 'w');
fwrite($fp, $content);
fclose($fp);
// Set perms with chmod()
chmod($file, 0777);
return true;
}
If you want to change the permissions of an existing file, use chmod (change mode):
$itWorked = chmod ("/yourdir/yourfile", 0777);
If you want all new files to have certain permissions, you need to look into setting your umode
. This is a process setting that applies a default modification to standard modes.
It is a subtractive one. By that, I mean a umode
of 022
will give you a default permission of 755
(777 - 022 = 755
).
But you should think very carefully about both these options. Files created with that mode will be totally unprotected from changes.
