CHMOD in PHP is simple right?
CHMOD($filename, $permissions);

but then I can't figure out why this doesn't work

<?
if(!chmod("test.txt", 0777))
{
echo "dood no good";
}
else
{
echo "yay";
};
?>

}
else
{
echo "yay";
}; // <---------- Whats that?
?>

What is the error message? What OS and PHP version are you running?

Not working as in not executing, or not working as in the file just does not change permission?

If it is the later one, make sure that your script is executing as a user who has permission to change the file permissions.
