It has to be a FUD coding problem. I am now looking into the code. I am a novice PHP coder. So please forgive any stupid questions. (been coding since 1978)

According to the docs at PHP(and comments) using chmod for permissions should use the octagonal form of xxxx and not the decimal form of xxx. But according to the notes by contributers, this (xxxx) does not work on Win32 systems. I found numerous cmods in the code of FUD. And a workaround for Win32 should be added on the definition of the permissions. Othewise it really is not a platform-less product, but a 'NIX product only. Here is what the PHP docs say.

chmod ("/somedir/somefile", 755); // decimal; probably incorrect
chmod ("/somedir/somefile", "u+rwx,go+rx"); // string; incorrect
chmod ("/somedir/somefile", 0755); // octal; correct value of mode

Nothing is said in the docs (nothing I can find) about this, but the user comments do. They say to use the decimal version only on Win32. My PHP bible says that chmod is "Inoperative on Windows systems". If this is key to how FUD works, then maybe that needs to be looked into.
