So I'm writing a script to allow one of my client to upload product pictures to their ecommerce site. I figured the easiest way to organize would be to create a directory with the product id as the name. So, I'm creating the directory just fine, but the permissions are always being set a 0755, when I need them to be set at 0775.

The code I'm using:

if (!is_dir('test')) mkdir('test',0775);

Now, the thing that really is confusing me, when I FTP into the site, I can change permissions manually on any file or directory. Except the one's made by this script, for those I get " Operation not permitted."

Of course, I can delete the directory, make it through ftp, and set the permissions, and it works fine.

Anyone have any clue how to fix this?

a dir created by a script is owned by the web browser user and not your accounts user, so that means you're not the owner, and therefore can't change it.
