[SOLVED] PHP - How to get the permissions of a file in Unix system

Issue

I need to get the permission of a file in Unix system in PHP. I tried stat() and fileperms() methods but both returns something like 33188,16877. But I am expecting the permission values like 755,777 etc.

Solution

You may use fileperms() function here:

clearstatcache();
echo substr(sprintf('%o', fileperms('demo')), -4);//0775
echo substr(sprintf('%o', fileperms('phptest/PHP_test')), -4);//0775

As suggested by Ravi Hirani's answer you may use is_readable(), is_executable() etc. commands.
