set permissions for all files and folders recursively

Question

I want to recursively set the folder and file permissions. Folders should get 750 and files 644. I found this and made some adaptions. Would this one work?

Answer 1

My solution will change all files and folder recursively to 0777. I use DirecotryIterator, it's much cleaner instead of opendir and while loop.

function chmod_r($path) {
    $dir = new DirectoryIterator($path);
    foreach ($dir as $item) {
        chmod($item->getPathname(), 0777);
        if ($item->isDir() && !$item->isDot()) {
            chmod_r($item->getPathname());
        }
    }
}
