Re: multi uploads permissions

Hi, you can either use the chown function in php syntax: |int chown|(string filename, mixed user); or use backticks (`) to call the system chown executable. The simplest way however might be to ask your sysadmin to set the umask for you. best regards Cameron Metzke wrote:

Hi all, I have a multi upload script, which works, but the end result is that the files that are uploaded are set to permissions of 600. Im think this is because they have a tmp name then are written to the "uploads" folder so in effect they are written by another system user? (lol ok so im new to php not sure if i followed that myself). well here is the script. -----------Start Code---------- $where_to_go = $path."/home/user/uploader/originals/"; //with trailing slash if (!$Submit) { while (list ($key, $value) = each ($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'])) { umask(000); $ok = (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'][$key], $where_to_go . $_FILES['file']['name'][$key])); ----------End Code--------------- is there anyway to set the permissions to 777 as i would like to further manipulate the images? and is that a good idea? or would it be better to chown them, (which i have no idea how to do via php). Or does anyone have any other ideas im completely stumped. Thankyou Cam
