Hi people, I'm trying to think of a way to make an auto-updater for my distributed scripts. If I wanted to do this, I'd have to give write access to the php scripts to the apache user or world. Everywhere I read that you shouldn't to that, but I'm thinking that if you script your stuff right, there shouldn't be any problem. The numerous places I read that I shouldn't do that gives me certain doubts though. any comments on this? regards, Evert -- Rooftop Solutions - Web Applications on Demand tel. (+31)628962319 fax.
