Re: Questions about writing files with PHP

Just check the FileSystem functions in the manual first. I think you'll find them quite easy to learn. You can use functions like: fopen(), fputs(), f...etc...() If you want the browser to actually download the file instead of displaying it, then you'll have to adjust the headers via the header() function. You wouldn't even need to use the fopen() stuff, but no copy would be saved on the server. I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for. As far as file permissions come, PHP (I think) typically is given the user of "nobody" so it can access anything that "nobody" can. I'm a Window's PHPer and just started on Linux last week so I could be way off... -- Matthew Leverton - matthew@aeroinc.net - http://www.allegro.cc -----Original Message----- From: Matt G.
