note 82752 added to function.ftp-rawlist

Regarding converting permissions from symbolic notation to octal, note that Hazem dot Khaled at gmail dot com's chmodnum function produces INCORRECT results. The resutls are base-10 numbers that only LOOK like they are octal numbers. The function also ignores setuid, setgid and sticky bits, and will produce incorrect numbers if such a file is encountered. Instead, this brute-force code works. Maybe there is something more slick, but this isn't too CPU-intensive (note that it assumes you've error-checked that you indeed have a 10-character string!): $permissions = 'drwxr-xr-x'; // or whatever $mode = 0; if ($permissions[1] == 'r') $mode += 0400; if ($permissions[2] == 'w') $mode += 0200; if ($permissions[3] == 'x') $mode += 0100; else if ($permissions[3] == 's') $mode += 04100; else if ($permissions[3] == 'S') $mode += 04000; if ($permissions[4] == 'r') $mode += 040; if ($permissions[5] == 'w') $mode += 020; if ($permissions[6] == 'x') $mode += 010; else if ($permissions[6] == 's') $mode += 02010; else if ($permissions[6] == 'S') $mode += 02000; if ($permissions[7] == 'r') $mode += 04; if ($permissions[8] == 'w') $mode += 02; if ($permissions[9] == 'x') $mode += 01; else if ($permissions[9] == 't') $mode += 01001; else if ($permissions[9] == 'T') $mode += 01000; printf('Mode is %d decimal and %o octal', $mode, $mode); ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 69.181.216.234 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ftp-rawlist.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/82752 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82752/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82752/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82752/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82752/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82752/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82752/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82752 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/82752 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
