NYCPHP Meetup

[Bradley Baumann]

Just to clear up what may seem to be a very universal statement,
I think that for this script chmod the *nix shell would be a better idea...

But also know that sometimes it IS appropriate to chmod with a PHP script.
For example, sometimes while making directories, or uploading files.

Good luck.
