I'm basically familiar with the UNIX permissions - 'owner', 'group', or 'other', but I have no real idea how these apply to webpage users under PHP. I know that if I FTP to the server I am the owner, and I think that if I, or anyone else, opens one of my webpages I am 'other'. However what I would like to do is assign certain users, who have logged in through a security portal, to 'group', so that they (but not 'others') have permission to write to data files on the site. Can this be done with PHP?
