Re: fopen() with permissions?

Hello, Well, I'm able to make an empty file with fopen("ftp://username:password@domain.com/folder/file.prefs", "w") However, I'm still nowhere because this file belongs to the user and her group, not to Apache, so I still can't write to it. Here's what I have to work with: -- I have the user's FTP username and password, which is necessary to install the software. -- The provider does not allow the backticks (``) operator, system(), exec(), passthru() or dl() for security reasons, and I assume this is the case with most people's service providers. I'm starting to think that PHP, although a great choice for anything but in-house software, may not be the right choice for a product aimed at non- technical people. Is there a PHPriest in the house? -- Charles Wiltgen
