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!

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.

$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...

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'd suggest starting a new thread about that and at least showing you made an attempt to do this yourself.

I don't tihnk many people here want to be your personal coder.
