[PHP-INSTALL] chmod problem with mkdir()

[Andre Hübner]

Hello List,

i have a problem with simple script that uses mkdir();

mkdir("/path/path/folder", 0777);

The highest chmod i get in created folder is 755, the 777 is ignored, but
less chmod like 705 accepted.
What could be wrong? Of course i can use chmod() after mkdir() but i think
function should do what it is promising...
script is running with php-cli 5.2.6
Thank you
Andre

Hallo,

yes, you are right. system umask is 0022
But php-function umask(); solves the problem without changing global environment.
Thanks
Andre

Andre,

Verify the system umask setting. Most systems default to a umask of 022 which could explain your 755 setting.
