chmod help

[parallon]

Hello all. I am new to PHP and based on this question, VERY new. I am trying to set up a download manager, and in the instructions it states that I need to change permissions of certain directories to 0777. Well my question is how and where to make this change? I am running Apache and PHP on top of Windows XP for my testing server. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you're using a FTP program such as CuteFTP, this can be done very easily by (usually) right-clicking on the folder and changing permissions.

Otherwise, you could write a short php script:

<?php

$the_dir = '/path/to/dir';
$result = chmod($the_dir, 0777);

if ($result)
    echo 'it was a success';
else
    echo 'it was a miserable failure';

?>

Hope this helps.
