php check chmod permissions for folder

Question

Hello how can I check if a folder has permissions to be writable and readable via php.

I want to check for permissions for include and file_get/put_contents, too.

I'm creating test code to check for permissions.

Solution 1

did you try chmod() .

EDIT:Then try fileperms

Solution 2

Check out is_writable och is_readable. They're tailored for exactly this.

I don't want to change them, I want to check if folder has this permissions.

Ok, what about include and file_get_contents.I don't know which php.ini setting is for them.For them I need only the setting, then I will use ini_get.

Thanks about that. I've tried it, but on windows my permissions are buggy and it didn't work, now its fine on linux.

You do not change file permissions in php.ini. You change them using chmod as the owner of the files (FTP, SSH and even PHP have a chmod command). You can read more about file permissions and how to set them correctly here: catcode.com/teachmod
