COPY function

I need some recommendations here: I am using the copy() function after I upload a file. Only problem is that it will not let me save it because I do not have permission on the server when PHP is running (I guess it needs chown nobody+777). I do not have ability to chown nobody+777. To work around this I had to make the directory chmod +777. Now there isnt anything important here other than the temporary uploaded files that I immediately delete after I process them (it is a couple step process so I need to make the copy). I am wondering if anyone else has a work around or how bad is making this directory +777? Thanks Chris -- ---------- Greetings Jedi - http://lastjedi.org
