I've done some tests and this is what I've found: 1) I have not seen any 'random' arbitary assigning of perms to uploaded whether using move_uploaded_file() or copy(). 2) If I use move_uploaded_file() then perms will be: -rw------- 1 apache apache 54709 May 4 00:46 3eb3f24e9ea15 regardless of umask. 3) If I use copy() then umask will be taken into consideration. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ /* The purpose of Physics 7A is to make the engineers realize that they're not perfect, and to make the rest of the people realize that they're not engineers. */
