[SOLVED] How to set chmod for a folder and all of its subfolders and files in PHP?

Issue

I think my question explains everything. I want to use php's chmod() function to set a 777 permission on a folder, its subfolders and files.

Any Help is appreciated. THX.

Solution

chmod("Folder",0770);

function in php allow you to change permission of file and for recursive change use exec

exec ("find /path/to/folder -type d -exec chmod 0770 {} +");//for sub directory
exec ("find /path/to/folder -type f -exec chmod 0644 {} +");//for files inside directory

make sure that your webserver have write access to the Folder.
