A tutorial to change file permissions dynamically with php

first define the function name in this case call it change Permissions with two parameters $path is the path to the folder and $modlevel is the permissions level to use.

<?php
function changePermissions($path,$modlevel){
?>

Then using the command chmod we change the file permissions

<?php
chmod($path,$modlevel);
?>

then do an if statement to see if it’s worked or failed this is optional

<?php
if(chmod){
  echo "success";
} else {
  echo "failed";
}
?>

to run the function you need to call it, you call it by typing it’s name with the parameters

<?php
changePermissions("assets/images/uploads/",777);
?>

here’s the full script:

<?php
function changePermissions($path,$modlevel){
chmod($path,$modlevel);
if(chmod){
  echo "success";
} else {
  echo "failed";
}
}
 
changePermissions("assets/images/uploads/",777);
?>
