I thought I would clarify the numbering scheme used here, as it confused me at first. On the UNIX console, the command: umask "blah" In this instance, the umask command forces "blah" to be an octal number, regardless of how many digits you use and regardless of any leading zeroes. In PHP, umask() does not default to octal as the console command does, it uses whatever numeric format you specify. For example: umask(213); This uses the decimal integer 213 and not the octal number 213 as you would expect when using the console command. In this case, it would set the umask to the octal number "325". To enter the number as octal, just add one or more zeroes to the left of the number: umask(0213); umask(07); umask(0044); etc. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.umask.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+49526 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49526&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49526&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49526&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49526&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49526&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+49526&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
