Hi,

  not really a bug, but you should state
clearly that you need to specify a decimal 
value of the rights to chmod.
so chmod(<file>,0755) (using octal) like in PHP 2.0
does not work anymore. 

In what form do you edit your help pages ?
I use php quite frequent, and wanna write
down my "experiences" somtimes .. :)

regards,
   Michael Glauche

chmod($file, 0755) works perfectly.

chmod($file, "0755") doesn't automatically convert to
octal as happened in PHP/FI. You need to do
chmod($file, octdec("0755")). (Note that any input coming
from an SQL database or form is encoded as a string.)
