Re: mkdir Question

Setting the file to have 0777 permissions will allow you to read and write it from any user on the system. However, it doesn't allow you to change the ownership (or the permissions) unless you're its creator. Giancula suggested chowning the file from within your PHP script, as you're still directing from user "nobody". /* Chris Lambert, CTO - chris@whitecrown.net WhiteCrown Networks - More Than White Hats Web Application Security - www.whitecrown.net */ ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeff Oien <jeff@webdesigns1.com> To: PHP <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Sunday, August 26, 2001 4:41 PM Subject: RE: [PHP] mkdir Question | However even the permission of 0777 doesn't let me do anything to | the directory or files in it.
