RE: [PHP] Directory Listing Problem

I logged in as "nouser" - which is my apache user. Changed the shell so I could log in. I did a directory listing of /usr, /tmp, /usr/local/apache, /etc .. and it keeps going. I created a file using the 'nouser' login, and checked that the file was owned by nouser. So it's not permissions. Why does the "ls -l" in the code work? It the nouser didn't have permissions, then that wouldn't work. When it comes to constraints - is there something in my php.ini or http conf file that I might be missing? To use the directory commands do I need to have compiled PHP with an extra switch? > -----Original Message----- > From: Mark Olbert [mailto:mark@arcabama.com] > Sent: Wednesday, 4 October 2000 09:11 > To: samantha@cfs.net.au; Lawrence.Sheed@dfait-maeci.gc.ca > Cc: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: RE: [PHP] Directory Listing Problem > > > Are you running afoul of permission/access constraints? > > - Mark > > -----Original Message----- > From: Samantha Savvakis [mailto:samantha@cfs.net.au] > Sent: Tuesday, October 03, 2000 3:49 PM > To: Lawrence.Sheed@dfait-maeci.gc.ca > Cc: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: RE: [PHP] Directory Listing Problem > > > Hi, > > Thanks to everyone for all their advice. > > It's still not reading the files in the directory.
