* @param boolean $recursive not used, but is there so that you can easly change from rmkdir (PHP 4) to mkdir(PHP 5) easily

Nice script. Thanks for sharing. :-)
I would like to share a literary I have coded with the same goal.

Example of usage:

<?php

use MathiasReker\FilePerm;

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

(new FilePerm([__DIR__]))
    ->setDefaultModeFile(0644)
    ->setDefaultModeFolder(0755)
    ->scan()
    ->fix();
