file permissions using shell scripting

Hi
I am trying to use shell script to display file permissions, and I can do it fine for the current user logged in, but now I want to view all file permissions for the Owner of the file, Group users and everyone, so it will look something like this:
-----------------READ WRITE EXECUTE
OWNER Username ---YES---YES---NO
GROUP USERS ---YES---NO---NO
EVERYBODY ---NO----NO---NO

Below is what I have so far.
Code:
echo -n "please enter file name : "
read file 
[ -w $file ] && W="Write = yes" || W="Write = No"
[ -x $file ] && X="Execute = yes" || X="Execute = No" 
[ -r $file ] && R="Read = yes" || R="Read = No" 
echo "$file permissions $W $R $X"

so my question is how do I find out the other permissions of the file?.

Any hints of tips would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

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)
