This causes problems when you e.g. make a filemanager. All files created with the filemanger will be owned by the www user and chmod'ed to 644. On the other side, the filemanger cannot alter files as they are (mostly) owned by the user (e.g. raz0). This makes it quite hard to make useful filemanger. Other commands like unlink() and rmdir() don't bother whether the files are owned by one or another user. Is there someway you can fix this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19648&edit=1
