RE: [PHP] a rights question.....

I'm using Linux Red Hat and Apache. 1) My Web (PHP) application is in (/home/httpd/html) /app/test.php 2) I have 4 directories : /home/dir1 /home/dir2 /home/dir3 /home/dir4 each with different user/password. So, I guess there are 2 choices : 1) Give rihgts to Apache user (nobody) over those 4 directories. or 2) Access the file inside those directories by user and password, something like fopen($user1:$password1@/home/dir1/file1.txt) is this correct?....may be the second one be the more "luxury" solution, is't it??...

What OS are you running? If you're running Unix (and possibly Windows, I don't know), your httpd.conf file will tell you which user your webserver is running as. You can also run "top" and look which user it lists for httpd. By default I believe it is user 'nobody'. On windows permissions don't really mean anything. It'll pretty much do whatever it feels like. :) Jason -----Original Message----- From: Javier Morquecho Morquecho [mailto:jmorquec@cedetel.com.mx] Sent: Tuesday, November 14, 2000 2:58 PM To: 'Php-General' Subject: [PHP] a rights question..... Hi friends ! I'm developing an application with PHP, this application read information of a file x ejem /home/test/test.txt After read it, I delete it.

I mean, somebody with user/password put a file in this directory, but how my application can delete this file??, what user my application (PHP) is using??...
