I have an issue that when I try to load a permission string from my .env file in Laravel and then when I try to use it as an int for the file mode arg in mkdir
it deletes the octal bit 0
and as a result the mkdir
call gets messed up:
mkdir($this->bakDir, 0755);
Works fine.
echo(\Config::get('app.dbBackupDirPerms'));
echo(intval(\Config::get('app.dbBackupDirPerms')));
mkdir($this->bakDir, intval(\Config::get('app.dbBackupDirPerms')));
0755
755
Creates the directory but with the incorrect permissions
Passing \Config::get('app.dbBackupDirPerms');
as a string also doesn't work to my surprise, I figured it would not be type checked by mkdir
Is there anyway around this, am I missing something here? Relatively new to PHP, but I imagine this must be a relatively common occurrence.
