You can try: http://php.net/chown http://php.net/chmod http://php.net/umask and various other functions that accept a permissions argument (fopen?) and see if any of them will let you do this... Probably not, since then *ANY* PHP-scripter on your server could hijack your account, and that would be bad, eh? What your IPS *MIGHT* do is create a GROUP with you and nobody user in it, and you *MIGHT* be able to chgrp the file to that group, and you *might* be able to do what you need to do with that file then... -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out?
