If you are trying to chmod() the file that is in /tmp from the $_FILES array, you probably can't do that -- but after you move_uploaded_file() you should be able to chmod that... Works for me. You may need to play with the directory to which the files are moving and you may want to do: $old = umask(0); move_uploaded_file(...); umask($old); http://php.net/umask Also research what current owner/group and permissions are on the file to see how you got into this problem to start with. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
