Re: mkdir in safe-mode

I'm also trying to figure this out right now. I have permissions for my directories set to 755, but when I want to create a new directory within PHP, I'm told I don't have permission to do so. This happens even when I use umask('0000') before the mkdir() function. chmod() doesn't work either because I get the same "don't have permission" error. Only way to make it work is to change the permissions for all directories on my web server to 777 which I don't really want to do. So, I'd also like to know if it's possible to have a PHP script make, delete and rename directories without having to set all directories to 777 permissions on the server. > From: jboonstra@gospelcom.net (Joel Boonstra) > Newsgroups: php.general > Date: Mon, 5 Aug 2002 16:17:35 -0400 (EDT) > To: Kai <eisbrenner@gidn.de> > Cc: "php-general@lists.php.net" <php-general@lists.php.net> > Subject: Re: mkdir in safe-mode > > I, too, have noticed this same problem.
