fileowner
This may not be immediately apparent to some, but you can use octdec( $octal_value ) to match the permissions retrieved by file perms
<?php
//assumes file has 2770 permissions
$perm= fileperms( __FILE__ );
$bit = "102770";
printf( "%s\n", octdec( $bit ) );
printf( "%s\n", $perm);
?>
fileperms
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
fileperms — Gets file permissions
Description
int fileperms
( string $filename
)
Gets permissions for the given file.
Parameters
- filename
-
Path to the file.
Return Values
Returns the permissions on the file, or FALSE on failure.
Examples
Example #1 Display permissions as an octal value
<?php
echo substr(sprintf('%o', fileperms('/tmp')), -4);
echo substr(sprintf('%o', fileperms('/etc/passwd')), -4);
?>
The above example will output:
1777 0644
Example #2 Display full permissions
<?php
$perms = fileperms('/etc/passwd');
if (($perms & 0xC000) == 0xC000) {
// Socket
$info = 's';
} elseif (($perms & 0xA000) == 0xA000) {
// Symbolic Link
$info = 'l';
} elseif (($perms & 0x8000) == 0x8000) {
// Regular
$info = '-';
} elseif (($perms & 0x6000) == 0x6000) {
// Block special
$info = 'b';
} elseif (($perms & 0x4000) == 0x4000) {
// Directory
$info = 'd';
} elseif (($perms & 0x2000) == 0x2000) {
// Character special
$info = 'c';
} elseif (($perms & 0x1000) == 0x1000) {
// FIFO pipe
$info = 'p';
} else {
// Unknown
$info = 'u';
}
// Owner
$info .= (($perms & 0x0100) ? 'r' : '-');
$info .= (($perms & 0x0080) ? 'w' : '-');
$info .= (($perms & 0x0040) ?
(($perms & 0x0800) ? 's' : 'x' ) :
(($perms & 0x0800) ? 'S' : '-'));
// Group
$info .= (($perms & 0x0020) ? 'r' : '-');
$info .= (($perms & 0x0010) ? 'w' : '-');
$info .= (($perms & 0x0008) ?
(($perms & 0x0400) ? 's' : 'x' ) :
(($perms & 0x0400) ? 'S' : '-'));
// World
$info .= (($perms & 0x0004) ? 'r' : '-');
$info .= (($perms & 0x0002) ? 'w' : '-');
$info .= (($perms & 0x0001) ?
(($perms & 0x0200) ? 't' : 'x' ) :
(($perms & 0x0200) ? 'T' : '-'));
echo $info;
?>
The above example will output:
-rw-r--r--
Errors/Exceptions
Upon failure, an E_WARNING is emitted.
Notes
Note: The results of this function are cached. See clearstatcache() for more details.
Tip
As of PHP 5.0.0, this function can also be used with some URL wrappers. Refer to Supported Protocols and Wrappers for a listing of which wrappers support stat() family of functionality.

An easy way to calculate fileperms to chmod is this:
substr(decoct(fileperms("test.html")),3);
Displays 666 or 777 (depends on chmod set).
substr(decoct(fileperms("test.html")),2);
Displays 0666 or 0777 and refers immediately to the number set with chmod();

Do not forget: clearstatcache();
==============================
When ever you make a:
mkdir($dstdir, 0770 ))
or a:
chmod($dstdir, 0774 );
You have to call:
clearstatcache();
before you can call:
fileperms($dstdir);

Since the output of decoct( fileperms('.') ) is of the form: 40644
It seems the previous example is wrong, instead you should understand:
To get permissions formatted as "644":
<?php
echo substr(decoct( fileperms('.') ), 2);
?>
To get permissions formatted as "0644":
<?php
echo substr(decoct( fileperms('.') ), 1);
?>

Here is a small function I made : http://pastebin.com/iKky8Vtu
I was bored and I thought it could be useful.
mixed mkperms( string $perms [, bool return_as_string = false [, string $filename ] ] )
Returns permissions given a string in literal format and a filename.
If the file name is omitted, the permissions that the function will return are based on 000-permissions.
If return_as_string is set to true, the result will be output as a 644 format string. Otherwise it will return a string converted to base-10 for chmod.
Examples:
<?php
echo mkperms('u+r', true), "\n"; // 400
echo mkperms('u+rwx,g+rw,o+x', true), "\n"; // 761
touch('myfile.txt'); // Create a file with any permissions
chmod('myfile.txt', mkperms('u=rwx,g=x,o=rw')); // myfile.txt is now at -rwx--xrw-
// Make a file and give it full permissions
touch('somefile.txt');
chmod('somefile.txt', 0777);
echo mkperms('g-w,o-rw', true, 'somefile.txt'); // 751
echo mkperms('u=rwx,g-r,o=-', true, 'somefile.txt'); // 730
// This way you can apply permissions to files
chmod('somefile.txt', mkperms('u=rwx,g-r,o=-', false, 'somefile.txt')); // somefile.txt is now at -rwx-wx---
?>
PS : sorry I had to put it on pastebin, or else it just made the note way too long.

On Linux (not tested on Windows), if you want a chmod-like permissions, you can use this function:
<?php
function file_perms($file, $octal = false)
{
if(!file_exists($file)) return false;
$perms = fileperms($file);
$cut = $octal ? 2 : 3;
return substr(decoct($perms), $cut);
}
?>
Using it:
$ touch foo.bar
$ chmod 0754 foo.bar
<?php
echo file_perms('foo.bar'); // prints: 754
echo file_perms('foo.bar', true); // prints 0754
?>

If you want to test if a file have the permission requirement (let say prior to do a chmod, avoiding doing useless chmod), you can do this:
<?php
$wantedPerms = 0644;
$actualPerms = fileperms($file);
if($actualPerms < $wantedPerms)
chmod($file, $wantedPerms);
?>
