fileowner
Do not forget: clearstatcache();
==============================
When ever you make a:
mkdir($dstdir, 0770 ))
or a:
chmod($dstdir, 0774 );
You have to call:
clearstatcache();
before you can call:
fileperms($dstdir);
fileperms
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
fileperms — Gets file permissions
Description
int fileperms ( string $filename )Returns the permissions on the file, or FALSE in case of an error.
Note: The results of this function are cached. See clearstatcache() for more details.
Tip
As of PHP 5.0.0 this function can also be used with some URL wrappers. Refer to Appendix O, List of Supported Protocols/Wrappers for a listing of which wrappers support stat() family of functionality.
Example 622. Display permissions as an octal value
<?php
echo substr(sprintf('%o', fileperms('/tmp')), -4);
echo substr(sprintf('%o', fileperms('/etc/passwd')), -4);
?>
This would produce the output:
1777 0644
Example 623. Display full permissions
<?php
$perms = fileperms('/etc/passwd');
if (($perms & 0xC000) == 0xC000) {
// Socket
$info = 's';
} elseif (($perms & 0xA000) == 0xA000) {
// Symbolic Link
$info = 'l';
} elseif (($perms & 0x8000) == 0x8000) {
// Regular
$info = '-';
} elseif (($perms & 0x6000) == 0x6000) {
// Block special
$info = 'b';
} elseif (($perms & 0x4000) == 0x4000) {
// Directory
$info = 'd';
} elseif (($perms & 0x2000) == 0x2000) {
// Character special
$info = 'c';
} elseif (($perms & 0x1000) == 0x1000) {
// FIFO pipe
$info = 'p';
} else {
// Unknown
$info = 'u';
}
// Owner
$info .= (($perms & 0x0100) ? 'r' : '-');
$info .= (($perms & 0x0080) ? 'w' : '-');
$info .= (($perms & 0x0040) ?
(($perms & 0x0800) ? 's' : 'x' ) :
(($perms & 0x0800) ? 'S' : '-'));
// Group
$info .= (($perms & 0x0020) ? 'r' : '-');
$info .= (($perms & 0x0010) ? 'w' : '-');
$info .= (($perms & 0x0008) ?
(($perms & 0x0400) ? 's' : 'x' ) :
(($perms & 0x0400) ? 'S' : '-'));
// World
$info .= (($perms & 0x0004) ? 'r' : '-');
$info .= (($perms & 0x0002) ? 'w' : '-');
$info .= (($perms & 0x0001) ?
(($perms & 0x0200) ? 't' : 'x' ) :
(($perms & 0x0200) ? 'T' : '-'));
echo $info;
?>
This would produce the output:
-rw-r--r--

On Linux (not tested on Windows), if you want a chmod-like permissions, you can use this function:
<?php
function file_perms($file, $octal = false)
{
if(!file_exists($file)) return false;
$perms = fileperms($file);
$cut = $octal ? 2 : 3;
return substr(decoct($perms), $cut);
}
?>
Using it:
$ touch foo.bar
$ chmod 0754 foo.bar
<?php
echo file_perms('foo.bar'); // prints: 754
echo file_perms('foo.bar', true); // prints 0754
?>
