Re: unlink() & rmdir() ... Problems.

the chmod 666 sets the exisiting files to be edited by the server. anything that's uploaded by the server is owned by it, and thusly can be edited. as a side note, you'd have to chmod 777 the directory to be edited if you want uploads to work. PHP Junkie wrote:

Ave, Well here's my situation... You see the File Manager allows users to Upload files ... Once a user uploads the file... It resides in a particular folder on my server. Users will be constantly uploading, downloading, deleting files. I can't possibly CHMOD 777 all the time... My question is... If I select the "nobody" group for the base folder where the files are stored & created... Will all the directories & files which are created later by the users using the website therein have the permissions to be deleted, if I set the permissions to read & write on that base folder?
