Re: Permissions on uploaded files (Unix)

You are playing under normal UNIX rules. I'm not saying this is ideal (because it's not) or that I recomend it (because I don't) , but it will work. You can make the choice if you want to risk security over what you need to accomplish. After you upload your file, you can run the chmod() php function and change the perms so that "other" can write to the file as well. Using perms 0777 or 0666 will allow your webmaster (or anyone on that system) to change those files. Hope this helps. -jeremy brand _______________________________________________________________________ GnuPG Fingerprint: 9F5E 95E0 1CC2 E054 84EA 6099 8ACD 9DBA D2C0 5EA9 _ http://www.JeremyBrand.com/Jeremy/Brand/Jeremy_Brand.html for more __ On Sun, 5 Nov 2000, Kilian wrote: > Date: Sun, 5 Nov 2000 16:34:59 +0100 > From: Kilian <kil@bunny.ch> > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP] Permissions on uploaded files (Unix) > > Hi All, > > I'm running Apache with PHP 3 as compiled-in module.
