PHP file permissions

[andrewsmd]

Is there any way to get and change the permissions of files with PHP. I.E.
$permission = theFilePermssion();
and changeFilePermission($someFileName);
Just wondering?
Thanks,

stat() [php.net]
lstat() [php.net]
fstat() [php.net]
filemtime() [php.net]
filegroup() [php.net]

chmod() [php.net]
chown() [php.net]
chgrp() [php.net]

Ok so the chmod command I have used before in Linux, but I am on a windows machine bascially what I need to do is change a file from read only to not read only (the same thing as right clicking and going to properties and unchecking the box). Any idea on how I use the chmod function to do this.

Some will. You'll find details for every command on the PHP manual page. Look for "Note" and terminology like that that for operating system specific differences.
