Hi everyone, I try to learn file uploading in PHP. I've successfully uploaded a file onto my server. I use move_uploaded_file("tmp_dir/tmp_filename", "destination_dir/filename") to move the temp file. The thing is that I have to do a "chmod 777 destination_dir" in order to move the file. Is this bad for security? Thanks a lot in advance.
