Hello.
I'm new here so I hope that this is the right place to post.

I have a script, to host images for the users.
That script, creates a folder inside the "/links" folder, so, it will be something like this:

"/links/xxxx
links/something"

and so on.

But theres a problem, the folders that the script automatically creates the folders with 777 permission, so, it won't be able to view for the users who share them. The folders must be in 755

I was in the php site, and found the chmod function.

It works something like this chmod ("dir", 755);

But this only chmod a directory.
How do I to chmod all the folders to 755 inside the /links folder with php code.

Note that I want this in PHP because the user makes the upload and it chmod the folder to 755 automatically.

I'm a kind of noob, so please explain it slowly :P

One more thing, sorry my bad english

Here is a very similar function to *scandir*, if you are still using PHP4...

This recursive function will return an indexed array containing all directories or files or both (depending on parameters). You can specify the depth you want, as explained below.

PHP Code:

<?php

// $path : path to browse
// $maxdepth : how deep to browse (-1=unlimited)
// $mode : "FULL"|"DIRS"|"FILES"
// $d : must not be defined
 
function searchdir ( $path , $maxdepth = -1 , $mode = "FULL" , $d = 0 )
{
   if ( substr ( $path , strlen ( $path ) - 1 ) != '/' ) { $path .= '/' ; }     
   $dirlist = array () ;
   if ( $mode != "FILES" ) { $dirlist[] = $path ; }
   if ( $handle = opendir ( $path ) )
   {
       while ( false !== ( $file = readdir ( $handle ) ) )
       {
           if ( $file != '.' && $file != '..' )
           {
               $file = $path . $file ;
               if ( ! is_dir ( $file ) ) { if ( $mode != "DIRS" ) { $dirlist[] = $file ; } }
               elseif ( $d >=0 && ($d < $maxdepth || $maxdepth < 0) )
               {
                   $result = searchdir ( $file . '/' , $maxdepth , $mode , $d + 1 ) ;
                   $dirlist = array_merge ( $dirlist , $result ) ;
               }
       }
       }
       closedir ( $handle ) ;
   }
   if ( $d == 0 ) { natcasesort ( $dirlist ) ; }
   return ( $dirlist ) ;
}

?>

Then use a foreach on the array returned with the chmod. Now I don't know exactly how the function returns the information as I just looked up the directory commands php.net. And this was an added comment.

In the actual function that creates the directory, you can define the mode.

mkdir('dir', 0755);

Well, the problem is that I just cant find where is the place where he creates the directory, i just cant find it because its a pre-made script.

And I can't understand how to use the foreach function after...
As I said, I'm a completly noob in PHP.

Is it a script you could post?

No, sorry.
It's a paid script.

But I solved the problem.
I read the whole file and found the right place to put the settings.

Thanks both.
