PHP chmod reports success when it has not worked - why?

Question

Hello all,

I have tried this:

echo substr(sprintf('%o', fileperms($mdbFilename)), -4).'<br />';
echo chmod($mdbFilename, 0777);
echo substr(sprintf('%o', fileperms($mdbFilename)), -4).'<br />';

The out put I get for the above is:

0666
1
0666

So the above has not worked! Why is this the case? And why does chmod report true?

The variable $mdbFilename contains the path to the file which is C:\wamp\www\webs\db\access_db_1276264459.mdb

Any help will be appreciated.

Update: I overlooked that the OP is on Windows, where there is no chmod as such. I'm leaving the answer in place because if this were on Linux, I think it would apply.

Old answer: Try adding a clearstatcache() call between every line.
