Creating Files

I am having some problems with files being created by a script. The directory they are created in has had its mode changed to 777 so that the files can be created by the script. The script uses fopen with "a" to create the file. Whereas all my other files are owned by me (pdunford) and can be accessed using the FTP client, the newly created file is owned by "nobody" and attempts to view or download it by the FTP client are refused. How can I ensure when creating the file that it is owned by user "pdunford" ? Obviously I want to be able to do this in the script without using any other tools. ======================================================================= Patrick Dunford, Christchurch, NZ - http://pdunford.godzone.net.nz/ You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires... -- Ephesians 4:22 http://www.heartlight.org/cgi-shl/todaysverse.cgi?day=20010102 ======================================================================= Created by Mail2Sig - http://pdunford.godzone.net.nz/software/mail2sig/
