RE: [PHP] Writing files on Linux

I have chmod 777 the file using exec(). The permissions have changed, yet the problem still there. The dies were added afterwards to debug it, as before the page it was called from printed that an error had occured from the returned $worked. It is owned by nobody in the group nobody. It is strange as it works fine on Win98. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Geier, CDM Systems Admin [mailto:mgeier@cdmsports.com] Sent: 10 August 2001 21:43 To: Corin Rathbone Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: 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?
