Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting change file type to hidden using chmod command Post 302135774 by sysgate on Wednesday 12th of September 2007 08:45:43 AM

You cannot achieve this with chmod, you can "chmod 000 inputfile.txt && chown root:root inputfile.txt", thus making file owned by root and noone can "cat" the file for example. Making "hidden" files is being done by renaming the file to ".inputfile.txt" but even then someone can do "ls -la" and he will still see the file.

PharFileInfo::chmod - Sets file-specific permission bits

SYNOPSIS
public void PharFileInfo::chmod (int $permissions) DESCRIPTION
PharFileInfo.chmod(3) allows setting of the executable file permissions bit, as well as read-only bits. Writeable bits are ignored, and set at runtime based on the phar.readonly INI variable. As with all functionality that modifies the contents of a phar, the phar.readonly INI variable must be off in order to succeed if the file is within a Phar archive. Files within PharData archives do not have this restriction. PARAMETERS
o $permissions - permissions (see chmod(3)) RETURN VALUES
No value is returned. EXAMPLES
Example #1 A PharFileInfo.chmod(3) example <?php // make sure it doesn't exist @unlink('brandnewphar.phar'); try { $p = new Phar('brandnewphar.phar', 0, 'brandnewphar.phar'); $p['file.sh'] = '#!/usr/local/lib/php <?php echo "hi"; ?>'; // set executable bit $p['file.sh']->chmod(0555); var_dump($p['file.sh']->isExecutable()); } catch (Exception $e) { echo 'Could not create/modify phar: ', $e; } ?> The above example will output: bool(true) PHP Documentation Group PHARFILEINFO.CHMOD(3)
