I have a php script that is used to create different directories for different users to store their images. One way to do this is use 777 permision like this:
$path = 'images/product/'.$pid;
if( ! file_exists($path)) {
$mask=umask(0);
mkdir($path, 0777);
umask($mask);
}
Is there any other alternative that doesn't involve to use 777 permision for the directory, for example to set the file owner and group?
