note 19708 added to function.fileperms

you can use this function to get permissions in standard unix format ("rwx rwx rwx" with "-" as placeholder for a denied permission): function get_perms($file) { $p_bin = substr(decbin(fileperms($file)), -9) ; $p_arr = explode(".", substr(chunk_split($p_bin, 1, "."), 0, 17)) ; $perms = ""; $i = 0; foreach ($p_arr as $this) { $p_char = ( $i%3==0 ? "r" : ( $i%3==1 ? "w" : "x" ) ); $perms .= ( $this=="1" ? $p_char : "-" ) . ( $i%3==2 ? " " : "" ); $i++; } return $perms; } -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fileperms.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+19708 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+19708 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+19708
