Re: PHP and permissions

I did. That's why I'm confused. phpinfo() is telling me that the user is myself (I don't see the group). So what is the "permission" difference between running PHP and logging on to the server via telnet as myself? > On Tue, 12 Mar 2002, Don wrote: > > use phpinfo() to find that out... > > > Hi, > > > > I have a question about how PHP runs. I have a file on my FreeBSD server that is owned by another user but is the same group as myself. The file has read/write permissions for the user only. Therefore, when I log onto the server I cannot read or write to the file. In fact, I can not even FTP it. > > > > The funny thing is, I wrote a PHP script to read the file (it's actually a CSV file) into an array using the function fgetcsv and display the values within the browser.
