This is confusing. Let's say you want to block access to /path/to/files, then find all the chmod (or created) and modified changes for the last 24 hours.

Code:

#Run as root to block other  and group access:
chmod 700 /path/to/files   # sets  read + execute off  [you are root (or owner)] 
# now find regular files that have either been "chmoded" 
echo 'start chmod, created list' 
find /path/to/files -type f -atime -1 -exec ls -l {} \;
echo 'end chmod, created list'
# now find files that have been modified in the last day
echo 'start recently modified list' 
find /path/to/files -type f -mtime -1 -exec ls -l {} \;
echo 'end recently modified list'
chmod 755 /path/to/files

NOTE: blocking access to some directories, like I showed, is not needed and is dangerous and can actually hang the whole system or cause other important processes to fail. Therefore it is really a bad idea. Be very careful. I personally would not do that.

chmod

CHMOD(3)								 1								  CHMOD(3)

chmod - Changes file mode

SYNOPSIS

       bool chmod (string  $filename, int  $mode)

DESCRIPTION

	Attempts to change the mode of the specified file to that given in $mode.

PARAMETERS

	      o $filename
		- Path to the file.

	      o $mode
		- Note that $mode is not automatically assumed to be an octal value, so to ensure the expected operation, you need to prefix $mode
		with a zero (0). Strings such as "g+w" will not work properly.

	      <?php
	      chmod("/somedir/somefile", 755);	 // decimal; probably incorrect
	      chmod("/somedir/somefile", "u+rwx,go+rx"); // string; incorrect
	      chmod("/somedir/somefile", 0755);  // octal; correct value of mode
	      ?>
	      man 1 chmod' and ' man 2 chmod'.

	      <?php
	      // Read and write for owner, nothing for everybody else
	      chmod("/somedir/somefile", 0600);

	      // Read and write for owner, read for everybody else
	      chmod("/somedir/somefile", 0644);

	      // Everything for owner, read and execute for others
	      chmod("/somedir/somefile", 0755);

	      // Everything for owner, read and execute for owner's group
	      chmod("/somedir/somefile", 0750);
	      ?>

RETURN VALUES

	Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

NOTES

       Note

	       The current user is the user under which PHP runs. It is probably not the same user you use for normal shell  or  FTP  access.  The
	      mode can be changed only by user who owns the file on most systems.

       Note

	      This function will not work on remote files as the file to be examined must be accessible via the server's filesystem.

       Note

	       When safe mode is enabled, PHP checks whether the files or directories you are about to operate on have the same UID (owner) as the
	      script that is being executed. In addition, you cannot set the SUID, SGID and sticky bits.
