I use GoDaddy aswell,
if you go into the FTP file manager on GoDaddy, you can manually change permissions.
However if you want to make changes dynamically in PHP.. I use a small routine listed below that works wonders. I do this in Powerstore during my uploads. Just change the parameters in the function to set permissions if you need a PHP solution otherwise do it manually with the FTP manager
Hope this helps...
chmod_R($path1, 0666,0777);
<?php
// provide security for files/paths
function chmod_R($path, $filemode, $dirmode) {
if (is_dir($path) ) {
if (!chmod($path, $dirmode)) {
$dirmode_str=decoct($dirmode);
print "Failed applying filemode '$dirmode_str' on directory '$path'\n";
print " `-> the directory '$path' will be skipped from recursive chmod\n";
return;
}
$dh = opendir($path);
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
if($file != '.' && $file != '..') { // skip self and parent pointing directories
$fullpath = $path.'/'.$file;
chmod_R($fullpath, $filemode,$dirmode);
}
}
closedir($dh);
} else {
if (is_link($path)) {
print "link '$path' is skipped\n";
return;
}
if (!chmod($path, $filemode)) {
$filemode_str=decoct($filemode);
print "Failed applying filemode '$filemode_str' on file '$path'\n";
return;
}
}
}
?>
