wireChmod() function

Change the mode of a file or directory (optionally recursive)

If no $chmod mode argument is specified the $config->chmodFile or $config->chmodDir` settings will be used.

This is procedural version of the $files->chmod() method.

Please note this method is and thus not intended to be called directly.

Internal usage

// basic internal usage
$bool = wireChmod(string $path);

// internal usage with all arguments
$bool = wireChmod(string $path, bool $recursive = false, string $chmod = null);

Arguments

Name	Type(s)	Description
`$path`	`string`	May be a directory or a filename
`$recursive` (optional)	`bool`	If set to true, all files and directories in $path will be recursively set as well.
`$chmod` (optional)	`string`	If you want to set the mode to something other than PW's chmodFile/chmodDir settings, you may override it by specifying it here. Ignored otherwise. Format should be a string, like "0755".

Return value

bool

Returns true if all changes were successful, or false if at least one chmod failed.

Exceptions

Method can throw exceptions on error:
