Note that you probably want to specify the mode as an
octal number, which means it should have a leading zero.
The mode is also modified by the current umask, which you
can change using <function>umask</function>.
</para>
<para>
<note>
<para>
Mode is ignored on Windows, and became optional in PHP 4.2.0.
</para>

<para>
The mode is 0777 by default, which means the widest possible
access. For more information on modes, read the details
on the <function>chmod</function> page.
