[SOLVED] Why in PHP if you use Mkdir recursive flag do the nest directories not chmod?

Issue

I am using mkdir to create normally 2 nested directories for a file structure. The directories it creates are always set to 0755. The code I am using however is.

 mkdir('path_one/path_two', 0777, true);

I have tried then doing

 chmod('path_one/path_two', 0777);

but that only sets the final directory as 0777. What would cause mkdir not to function properly?

Solution

mkdir is functioning correctly. The intermediate directories created are set based on the current umask. You want something like:

umask(0777);
mkdir('path_one/path_two', 0777, true);
