: But PHP does allow this. Doesn't chmod("filename", 0777); work?

It doesn't on my server:

[...]
  if (!ftpMkdir($path, $dir)) {
   $result = 'fail';
  } else {
   chmod($path . $dir, 0777);
   $result = 'ok';
  }

When I run this, the gallery is created allright, but its permissions are
set to 755.

Might this have something to do with "umask"?
