note 99810 added to function.mkdir

Please note that in a shared environment I failed to take into account an existing umask when I did a mkdir(dirname, 0755). This ended up creating the directory (function returned true), but I didn't have rights to do anything inside the folder, nor could I even view that it existed via ftp. However, file_exists(dirname) returned true. Eventually I figured out what happened and was able to rmdir(dirname), then created the directory correctly. So, when writing scripts you expect to be portable, either use umask to set your umask accordingly, or do a straight mkdir(dirname) followed by chmod(dirname, 0755) (or whatever it is you're looking for). If you make the same mistake I did, you should be able to rmdir() or chmod() the folder so it's accessible. ---- Server IP: 192.41.42.26 Probable Submitter: 63.98.25.109 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mkdir.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/99810 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99810/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99810/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99810/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99810/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99810/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99810/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99810 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/99810 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
