Re: chmod

Emiliano, This question is totally out of scope for this mailing list. It has nothing to do with databases at all. Also, you should _almost never_ use 0777 for permissions. You probably want 0644. (Owner can read/write, all others can read.) Regarding your question in general, it sounds like you are running this on a Windows environment. I can't personally speak to whether chmod() works well in that environment or not (I would never run a windows server or dev environment for that matter), but I suspect it may not be working as expected based on what you are describing, especially if you are using an older version of PHP. I would be willing to further help you diagnose the problem (others may be as well), but I really think this does not belong on this mailing list and, as such, those discussions should be held off-list. FYI, I think the appropriate forum for this question would be either the "General user list" or, if you are indeed using Windows, the "Windows PHP users list": http://php.net/mailing-lists.php -Matt On 08/20/2013 08:39 AM, Emiliano Boragina wrote:

Hello everyone, I try to use chmod 0777, but the JPG file in my localhost I cant view. I must enter in the windows properties of the JPG file, add the user with full permission, and them i can view it. I use this: move_uploaded_file($file_tmp,"$desired_dir/".$file_name); chmod("$desired_dir/".$file_name,0777); What's wrong? Thanks. Emiliano
