I'm not sure if you need the mode octal in the mkdir funcion in windows. Anyway I hope you read a comment in the php's online mkdir function manual: mkdir will create directories with undesired/unexpected owner/group settings in certain circumstandes when SAFE_MODE is on. See the bug report: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=24604 You might notice that when you create a new directory using this code: mkdir($dir, 0777); The created folder actually has permissions of 0755, instead of the specified 0777. Why is this you ask? Because of umask(): http://www.php.net/umask The default value of umask, at least on my setup, is 18. Which is 22 octal, or 0022. This means that when you use mkdir() to CHMOD the created folder to 0777, PHP takes 0777 and substracts the current value of umask, in our case 0022, so the result is 0755 - which is not what you wanted, probably. The "fix" for this is simple, include this line: $old_umask = umask(0); Right before creating a folder with mkdir() to have the actual value you put be used as the CHMOD. If you would like to return umask to its original value when you're done, use this: umask($old_umask); "Dang Nguyen" <dang155@comcast.net> wrote in message 20031113035450.80265.qmail@pb1.pair.com">news:20031113035450.80265.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > Hi All, > > I have a php script that was carried over from an Apache/Solaris environment > into a Windows 2000/IIS/PHP 4.3.4 environment.
