Set directory permissions - directory already exists

[Karl Groves]

Can anyone tell me how to go about changing a directory's permissions once
it already exists? I see in the manual how to do that to a file, but the
only thing I've found when it comes to a directory's permissions is when
the directory is made with mkdir()

chmod works on both.

Thanks for the response. The PHP manual says:
<quote>
chmod -- Changes file mode
Description
bool chmod ( string filename, int mode )

Attempts to change the mode of the file specified by filename to that given
in mode.
</quote>

Which led me to believe it was only for files.
I'll give it a try. Thanks
