To save on computing time, the results of the fileperms command are
cached... I assume when you run a new instance of the program, it uses a new
cache / old one is deleted when the first instance ends. Either way, you
should clear the cache first:
clearstatcache();
echo "Directory permissions for $dirname: ". substr(sprintf('%o',
fileperms($dirname)), -3). " //reports 0755;
Give that a try

Subject: Mystery about chmod and permissions
I've got a script that checks a directory's permissions for 757 and if they
are not correct, chmods them with a cgi script.
That part works just fine. Can alternately switch the permissions from 755
to 757 and back. I can use a ftp utility to
check the permissions and they are correct.
The mystery is that I have a permissions check following the chmod and it
reports the permissions that existed before
the change.
snippets:
include "http://$server/cgi-bin/chg_perms.cgi?name=$fp_name&perms=$fperms";;
//e.g., $fperms= 0757;
[I've tried sleep(10) here; doesn't help]
echo "Directory permissions for $dirname: ". substr(sprintf('%o',
fileperms($dirname)), -3). " //reports 0755;
If I run the script again with the same permissions, the report shows the
correct permissions.
It's as if permissions check code is executed before the chmod; but it
isn't. I've tried echoed the times for the chmod
code and the permissions check and the chmod code is definitely before the
permissions check.
Anyone have an explanation.?
