note 40786 added to function.ftp-chmod

I needed to do a recursive chmod on a set of folders, subfolders and files on a server where I have a hosting account without any shell access. This function helps. Call it with the connection as the first parameter and the folder to start from as the second. Not exactly fast (you probably want to include a set_time_limit() to avoid a timeout.) <?php function recursive_chmod_with_ftp($connection, $basefolder){ $files = ftp_nlist($connection,$basefolder); //get files in directory foreach ($files as $file) { $isfile = ftp_size($connection, $file); if($isfile == "-1") { //Is a file or a folder? ftp_site ( $connection, 'CHMOD 777 '.$file); recursive_chmod_with_ftp($connection, $file); // a folder! Keep going down! }else { ftp_site ( $connection, "CHMOD 777 '.$file); echo "CHMODed $file"; } } } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ftp-chmod.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+40786 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+40786&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+40786&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
