I've set up a login script that creates a couple of folders everytime a new user is registered. The folders have been created successfully, but they are CHMOD to 315 each time, and I dont know how to fix this. I would prefer that they were CHMOD to 773 instead.

PHP Code:

$dir = "users/{$val['username']}/images";
$mode = 0733;
$stack = array(basename($dir));
$path = null;
while ( ($d = dirname($dir) ) ) {
    if ( !is_dir($d) ) {
        $stack[] = basename($d);
        $dir = $d;
    } else {
        $path = $d;
        break;
    }
}
if ( ( $path = realpath($path) ) === false ) 
    return false;
             $created = array();
for ( $n = count($stack) - 1; $n >= 0; $n-- ) {
    $s = $path . '/'. $stack[$n];                                      
    if ( !mkdir($s, $mode) ) {
        for ( $m = count($created) - 1; $m >= 0; $m-- ) 
            rmdir($created[$m]);
        return false;
    }
    $created[] = $s;      
    $path = $s;
} 


PHP Code:

!mkdir($s, $mode) 


picks up the server default settings. And those vary from server to server.

Just add a chmod $newdir statement after the creation and set it for what you want.

I can't recall the exact syntax but I can look it up. I spent a whole darn weekend figuring this one out and am happy to save you the time.

Hi portkey, I stumbled upon your code you have there, and I was wondering if I could have permission to use that on something I have been trying to figure out lately? If not, that's no problem at all

Here is the cut from a message I posted elsewhere when I solved the problem with the script I was working with at the time.

// create the target directory name
$newdir = siteframe_userdir($uid);
if (!is_dir($newdir)) {
if (!mkdir($newdir,0770)) {
$this->add_error(_ERR_BADDIR,$newdir);
}
}

Chmod is never mentioned. I should think their would be a routine to determine chmod based on site config.
I did a work-around by adding to the above and making it look like this:
else {
// create the target directory name $newdir = siteframe_userdir($uid); if (!is_dir($newdir)) { if (!mkdir($newdir,0770)) { $this->add_error(_ERR_BADDIR,$newdir); } {chmod($newdir, 0755); } }

Note that since I just did a cut and paste on the above that the php syntax may be broken as it is displayed. To read the thread in its entirety just type my user name and Glenn into Google it should be the first link.
