First, PHP runs as the User defined in httpd.conf, which should be 'nobody' or a similarly under-powered user. It's true, though, that any files that 'nobody' can erase can also be erased by PHP... But they can also be erased by Perl, Ruby, shell scripts, and, well, just about anything really... So the problem is in the file's permissions, not that PHP can do the same things any other program can do. The preceding all assumes you are using Apache. If you're using IIS you have much bigger security problems than PHP erasing junk. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm I'm looking for a PRO QUALITY two-input sound card supported by Linux (any major distro). Need to record live events (mixed already) to stereo CD-quality. Soundcard Recommendations? Software to handle the recording? Don't need fancy mixer stuff. Zero (0) post-production time. Just raw PCM/WAV/AIFF 16+ bit, 44.1KHz, Stereo audio-to-disk.
