chmod sub directories not working

[fohanlon]

Hi

 

I want to be able to upload files to subdrectories on the server.  I do not want to set any folders to permanently 0777.

 

Here is what I have so far, its a combo of my own and somw stuff found on the web.  It will chmod the parent folder but fails on the sub folder.  I read about creating the parent folder using FileZila can create problems.  Confused as to what to create the parent folders in.

 

Thanks in advance.

// documents

$path_to_parent = "/httpdocs/sub1/subs2/";

$parent_folder = "myfiles/";

$sub_folder = $parent_folder . $subdirectoryid;

{

$ftp_details['ftp_user_pass'] = FTP_PASS;

$ftp_details['ftp_root'] = FTP_ROOT;

$ftp_details['ftp_server'] = FTP_SERVER;

 

extract ($ftp_details);

$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);

$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);

 

return $conn_id;

}

 

function chmod_file($conn_id, $permissions, $path)

}

}

}

 

// delete files here if applicable - delete_file[]

check you php user permissions.

Hi

 

Do I check php user permissions on the server, is it in the php.inf file?

Do you have the ability to log into the web server and use a console?  If so you should just switch to the web server's user id and group and try to make the directories as a permissions test.

 

Otherwise I suggest you make a tiny PHP script called t.php and play with the mkdir and chmod functions until you get something that works the way you'd like.
