fileowner
If you only want the permissions (lowest three octal numbers) you can use a bitwise AND to mask the bits:
<?php
fileperms($file) & 511;
?>
fileperms
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
fileperms — Gets file permissions
Description
int fileperms
( string $filename
)
Gets permissions for the given file.
Parameters
- filename
-
Path to the file.
Return Values
Returns the permissions on the file, or FALSE in case of an error.
Examples
Example #1 Display permissions as an octal value
<?php
echo substr(sprintf('%o', fileperms('/tmp')), -4);
echo substr(sprintf('%o', fileperms('/etc/passwd')), -4);
?>
The above example will output:
1777 0644
Example #2 Display full permissions
<?php
$perms = fileperms('/etc/passwd');
if (($perms & 0xC000) == 0xC000) {
// Socket
$info = 's';
} elseif (($perms & 0xA000) == 0xA000) {
// Symbolic Link
$info = 'l';
} elseif (($perms & 0x8000) == 0x8000) {
// Regular
$info = '-';
} elseif (($perms & 0x6000) == 0x6000) {
// Block special
$info = 'b';
} elseif (($perms & 0x4000) == 0x4000) {
// Directory
$info = 'd';
} elseif (($perms & 0x2000) == 0x2000) {
// Character special
$info = 'c';
} elseif (($perms & 0x1000) == 0x1000) {
// FIFO pipe
$info = 'p';
} else {
// Unknown
$info = 'u';
}
// Owner
$info .= (($perms & 0x0100) ? 'r' : '-');
$info .= (($perms & 0x0080) ? 'w' : '-');
$info .= (($perms & 0x0040) ?
(($perms & 0x0800) ? 's' : 'x' ) :
(($perms & 0x0800) ? 'S' : '-'));
// Group
$info .= (($perms & 0x0020) ? 'r' : '-');
$info .= (($perms & 0x0010) ? 'w' : '-');
$info .= (($perms & 0x0008) ?
(($perms & 0x0400) ? 's' : 'x' ) :
(($perms & 0x0400) ? 'S' : '-'));
// World
$info .= (($perms & 0x0004) ? 'r' : '-');
$info .= (($perms & 0x0002) ? 'w' : '-');
$info .= (($perms & 0x0001) ?
(($perms & 0x0200) ? 't' : 'x' ) :
(($perms & 0x0200) ? 'T' : '-'));
echo $info;
?>
The above example will output:
-rw-r--r--

Do not forget: clearstatcache();
==============================
When ever you make a:
mkdir($dstdir, 0770 ))
or a:
chmod($dstdir, 0774 );
You have to call:
clearstatcache();
before you can call:
fileperms($dstdir);

On Linux (not tested on Windows), if you want a chmod-like permissions, you can use this function:
<?php
function file_perms($file, $octal = false)
{
if(!file_exists($file)) return false;
$perms = fileperms($file);
$cut = $octal ? 2 : 3;
return substr(decoct($perms), $cut);
}
?>
Using it:
$ touch foo.bar
$ chmod 0754 foo.bar
<?php
echo file_perms('foo.bar'); // prints: 754
echo file_perms('foo.bar', true); // prints 0754
?>
