RE: [PHP] Permission denied

Whoopee!!! After two days of propeller-spinning, I finally uploaded a file successfully!!! I had to use an FTP connection to do it, because my PHP process didn't have permission to write files to my directory, but that's fine. Here's the code snippet that worked the trick, with my servername/username/password changed to protect the innocent (me!) Thanks to Adam for putting me on the right track, vis-a-vis file permissions.
