Note Submitter: jbr at ya-right dot com ---- Getting * directory * permissions ( attributes ) with COM PHP (5) example... <? $dir = 'e:/www/docs/www/docs/junk/'; define ( 'READ_ONLY', 1 ); define ( 'IS_HIDDEN', 2 ); define ( 'IS_SYSTEM', 4 ); $hold = array (); $obj = new COM ( 'scripting.filesystemobject' ); if ( is_object ( $obj ) ) { $all = $obj->getfolder ( $dir ); foreach ( $all->subfolders AS $directory ) { if ( substr ( $directory->name, - 3 ) != 'cnf' ) { $hold[$dir . $directory->name . '/'] = array ( 'read_only' => ( ( $directory->Attributes & READ_ONLY ) <> 0 ? 1 : 0 ), 'is_hidden' => ( ( $directory->Attributes & IS_HIDDEN ) <> 0 ? 1 : 0 ), 'is_system' => ( ( $directory->Attributes & IS_SYSTEM ) <> 0 ? 1 : 0 ) ); } } $obj = null; } else { echo 'sorry can not crate object: file_system_object'; } print_r ( $hold ); ?> To do the same thing for * files * with in the directory named in $dir, change above ( foreach() ) to what is below... foreach ( $all->files AS $file ) { $hold[$file->name] = array ( 'read_only' => ( ( $file->Attributes & READ_ONLY ) <> 0 ? 1 : 0 ), 'is_hidden' => ( ( $file->Attributes & IS_HIDDEN ) <> 0 ? 1 : 0 ), 'is_system' => ( ( $file->Attributes & IS_SYSTEM ) <> 0 ? 1 : 0 ) ); } pretty much anything you could think of doing in windows can be done using PHP and COM...
