Uploaded files & permissions

[danomac]

I have been browsing through PHP.net but have not found any reference to what permissions PHP uses to create files.

Is there any way to tell move_uploaded_file() to use different permissions when creating the file?

move_uploaded_file() merely safely moves a file from the temporary directory to another place on the filesystem. It cannot change permissions.

You can change permissions on file using PHP, either through the chown(), chgrp() and chmod() functions or by externally invoking filesystem-specific functions using exec() or the backtick operator.

There are a number of limits, depending on your OS and PHP configuration.

In that case, it's a good thing I have shell access.

Would using umask() prior to calling move_uploaded_file() have a desired effect? I was still looking around on PHP's site when I found umask(), and it seems to reset after a command is used.

I'll have to try this later to see if it gives me a desired result.

Thx for the speedy reply.
