chmod() is working the way it's supposed to. You're not getting the results you desire, and to understand why, you need to understand how file ownership and permissions work on a *nix system.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 C. Nichel IVJohn: 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.
