How can developers check and adjust folder permissions in a Windows environment to prevent "Permission denied" errors in PHP?

Developers can check and adjust folder permissions in a Windows environment by ensuring that the user running the PHP process (such as the web server user) has appropriate read, write, and execute permissions on the folders where PHP scripts are accessing files. This can prevent "Permission denied" errors in PHP.

// Example code to check and adjust folder permissions in a Windows environment
$folderPath = 'C:/path/to/folder';

// Adjust folder permissions
exec("icacls $folderPath /grant Everyone:(OI)(CI)F");
