File permissions is beyond the scope of this mailing list. You need to buy a book, research on the web, etc., on *nix system administration, and concentrate on the filesystem/security/permissions sections, and the section on how apps/daemons operate.

John:
My question basically was "why isn't chmod() working for me?" So, I thought it might be a question to pose to a php mailing list -- my mistake, sorry.
In any event, I'll figure it out.
Thanks.

PS: 0777 -- so you never go to extremes, or press limits, to try to solve a problem?
