Php - Chmod Not Working

I want to change the chmod values of the files from the user. But it does not work. My code is;

$chmod = "0777";
chmod($filename, $chmod);

I am entering chmod 777. But the chmod value of the file is 1411. I tried chmod 0777, 777, 00777. The results remain the same.

The problem has to do with data conversion.

$chmod = "0777";
chmod($filename, octdec($chmod));

By just passing in the $chmod string it get converted 777 witch is not giving you want. octdec("0777") will output 511 that decimal will give chmod the value you want.

Check the file path and file name is correct! then try this

chmod("/somedir/somefile", 0755);
