note 71485 added to function.chmod

an update to 'neil at 11 out of 10's code for changing mode using FTP. changes: proper array added within the function (better for those of us who only need to connect to one ftp server) so only the mode and directory name need to be passed. the octal added, for completeness and predictable stability. function changemode($xcite) { $ftp_details = array( ftp_user_name => 'username', ftp_user_pass => 'password', ftp_user_root => '/public_html/', ftp_server => 'ftp.something.org' ); $path = "public"; $mod = intval($xcite, 8); // extract ftp details (array keys as variable names) extract ($ftp_details); // set up basic connection $conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server); // login with username and password $login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass); // try to chmod $path directory if (ftp_site($conn_id, 'CHMOD '.$mod.' '.$ftp_root.$path) !== false) { $success=TRUE; } else { $success=FALSE; } // close the connection ftp_close($conn_id); return $success; } then call it where required, an example: changemode(777, directory); if (@copy("$tempname", "$fullfilename")) $done = "yes"; changemode(755, directory); for those of you, like me, who were looking for a way to make an 'un-hackable' uploader, here's the closest i got, now for a field test, good luck! ---- Server IP: 83.138.144.80 Probable Submitter: 62.254.32.17 (proxied: 82.16.118.135) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.chmod.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/71485 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71485/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71485/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71485/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71485/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71485/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71485/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71485 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/71485 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
