The key word is "directory" chmod only works for files PHP5 has a ftp_chmod; but not 4.3.x

Is there a way to change directory permissions with pre php5.0? Linux/Apache I'm designing a CM application and would like my code to enable non-techies to be able to create a simple text file. [e.g., directory temporarilly from 755 to 757 and then back again.] PHP5.0 has a chmod; but not, 4.3.x

Huh? chmod has been around since V3... http://us2.php.net/chmod chmod (PHP 3, PHP 4, PHP 5) chmod -- Changes file mode

That is because your php code made the directory and is therefore the owner. My directory already exists and was made by ftp.
