set permissions for all files and folders recursively

Question

I want to recursively set the folder and file permissions. Folders should get 750 and files 644. I found this and made some adaptions. Would this one work?

<?php  function chmod_r($Path) {    $dp = opendir($Path);    while($File = readdir($dp)) {       if($File != "." AND $File != "..") {          if(is_dir($File)){             chmod($File, 0750);          }else{              chmod($Path."/".$File, 0644);              if(is_dir($Path."/".$File)) {                 chmod_r($Path."/".$File);              }          }       }    }    closedir($dp); }  ?>

Why don't use find tool for this?

exec ("find /path/to/folder -type d -exec chmod 0750 {} +"); exec ("find /path/to/folder -type f -exec chmod 0644 {} +");
