Odd permissions on uploaded files, lamp server

I'm getting odd permissions on files uploaded by php. I've captured the permissions using fileperms() before and after the move_uploaded_file() call and chmod() call. The permissions are 33152 before and 334232 after. I don't even know what these mean. I'm expecting like 0664 or something. For info: these numbers in hex and oct:

Dec: 33152 = 0x8180 and o100600, after I chmod(filename, 664) fileperms() gives: Dec: 33432 = 0x8298 and o101230

Super weird permissions. Note the first permissions are coming from the file in the tmp directory before I've moved it. The file name is something like /tmp/phpc9lNXw

Has anyone ever seen permissions like this on uploaded files? Where do they come from?

Solution

  • You are not saving the permissions in octal notation which is required -- To do this you need a leading zero in front of your permissions set ..

    chmod(filename, 0664)
