Grant Permission to Folder using PHP

I need to grant write permission to temporary folder of all local machine (if it does not have)which access my php site. Is it possible using PHP?

Solution

  • No, you can't because PHP works server-side only! PHP is used to create HTML output and cannot access files on client-side machines.

    chmod('path/to/my/folder',777); will only change file permissions on the server machine - never on a client!
