echo substr(sprintf('%o', fileperms('/etc/passwd')), -4);
?>

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 {

$info .= (($perms & 0x0100) ? 'r' : '-');
$info .= (($perms & 0x0080) ? 'w' : '-');
$info .= (($perms & 0x0040) ?
(($perms & 0x0800) ? 's' : 'x' ) :
