RE: [PHP] Writing files on Linux

there really is no reason to "return $worked" since the script will "die" on any problems. chmod 777 /var/www/htdocs/$file for one pass of the script to see if it is a permissions issue. file either needs to be 'chmod a+w' or owned by the user the script is running as. -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Adams [mailto:danno@wpi.edu] Sent: Friday, August 10, 2001 3:31 PM To: Corin Rathbone Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Writing files on Linux What error does it give you?
