Hi gang:
Question: I know you can set a directory to have certain permissions,
but how do you set the permissions to be recursive? In other words,
for example, if you set the directory to be 755, then everything
placed within that directory will also be 755.

Thanks, but are you sure about that?
That looks like a function that simply takes the old permission
settings and stores them until you're finished setting new
permissions to a file/directory and then you can safely restore the
old permissions to what they were.
What I'm looking for is how to set the permissions for a directory
such that all files in it will have the same permissions.
I use GoLive and in their file "FTP access" settings they have a
recursive checkbox. If the checkbox is not checked, then whatever
permission setting I give to a directory is just to the directory.
However, if it the recursive checkbox is checked, then all files
placed in the directory will have the directory's permissions.
Perhaps this is something limited to GoLive and not an option in
setting chmod's via php's built-in functions.
I am aware of how to change the contents of a directory to a specific
chmod using a recursive php routine, but I was looking for a simpler
way.
