Re: [PHP] CHMOD...

[Justin Patrin]

In all fairness, that's not a very good solution. Using system commands 
makes your script not cross platform, meaning it can't work on Windows. 
For a better solution try writing a recursive chmod script that sets the 
permission, the loops through the files and calls itself on them if the 
input is a directory.

You still cannot set all sub directory and files within those
permissions. Best to loop through and set each as needed, don't forget
to cahnge them back.


Yes, you can:

exec("chmod -R 0777 /directory/*");

*slaps forehead* Duh me! Of course! I so rarely (nearly never) use that
switch that in my haste to fire off an answer I forgot it.
