This PHP CHMODing tutorial was contributed by Azekeal.

Note that mode is not automatically assumed to be an octal value, so strings (such as “g+w”) will not work properly. To ensure the expected operation, you need to prefix mode with a zero (0): IE, not 666, but 0666 .

bool chmod ( string filename, int mode);

example:

chmod("somefile.php", 0666);
