I was thinking the exact same thing but I can actually delete files from these directories using a system command through php. Would that be a different type of permission? Ed On Tue, 25 Feb 2003, Chris Hewitt wrote:

Before I ask, I have read the documentation but nothing seems to work. I want to run a system command from behind the scenes (totally secure area of my server) that creates a directory and changes permissions on it. i.e. system ("mkdir $path"); Example above uses a value from a form passed to the script and is assigned from $_POST['path']; When I run it no directory is created. Ideas??
Does the user that the webserver is running as have permissions to make that directory? HTH Chris No, it would be the same permissions.
