Hi NG. I'm experiencing some problems when trying to copy a file from one location to another on the web server. example: dir1/subdir1/some_image_name.jpg --> dir2/subdir2/some_new_image_name.jpg When I do this the file permissions changes and I'm no longer the owner of the file. I tried to use chmod('the_new_file', 0777); but it doesn't work, because chmod() wont let me change the permissions since I'm not the owner of this new file. The owner should now be the user the Web server is running as.
To change file ownerships you need to use the PHP FTP functions. Check out these pages: http://php.libero.it/manual/en/ref.ftp.php HTH, cheers! Silvio Porcellana
