Check file permissions

thesavior · 01-22-2006, 09:13 PM

This is great for installers. It checks the file you provided in the first statment, against the octal you want it to have. If it has incorrect permissions, the row is red, if correct permissions, it makes a green row.

Function

PHP Code:


			
function check_perms($path,$perm)

{

    clearstatcache();

    $configmod = substr(sprintf('%o', fileperms($path)), -4); 

    $trcss = (($configmod != $perm) ? "background-color:#fd7a7a;" : "background-color:#91f587;");

    echo "<tr style=".$trcss.">"; 

    echo "<td style=\"border:0px;\">". $path ."</td>"; 

    echo "<td style=\"border:0px;\">$perm</td>"; 

    echo "<td style=\"border:0px;\">$configmod</td>"; 

    echo "</tr>";  

}

Usage

PHP Code:


			
<table width=\"100%\"  border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"3\" style=\"text-align:center;\">

         <tr>

        <th style="border:0px;"><b>File Name</b></th>

        <th style="border:0px;"><b>Needed Chmod</b></th>

        <th style="border:0px;"><b>Current Chmod</b></th>

    </tr>

    <?php 

            check_perms("cache","0777");

        check_perms("include/keys","0777");

        check_perms("backup","0777");

        check_perms("uploads","0777");

        check_perms("include/template","0777");

        check_perms("include/user","0777");

        check_perms("img","0777");

        check_perms("img/avatars","0777");

    ?>

Hey, thanks a lot for this, can you add a button, so that when they are all green, you can proceed with the installation.

How about trying it yourself, and asking for help on specific issues, rather than re instantiating a 3.5 year old thread?

Oh I didnt know it was old.

Anyways, I am not good at coding php myself. So what would be some steps to doing it?

this is exactly what I need for my installation.

Basicly if all files are green, means permissions are what they are supposed to be, you can procceed with installation, which a button shows up to go to the next page of installation.
