Mkdir() Fwrite() Create files with chmod 0700 .. And not 0777 Why??

Hello everybody, i'm a new user from the mailing list.. I'm belgium man, 21 years and student on info .. Sorry for the language but i'm leaver speak french ;-) I'm begin a installation of a web server.. When i use a script like this : <? mkdir("test"); ?> The folder have 0700 chmod, and i can't write in it (apache.apache chown) !! In the php doc they say, the chmod by default is 0777 why i don't have that? I know i can use the chmod option and umask.. But some script don't use this, and i don't want to rewrite all.. I need also, to have a "mini" web hosting for the college and the user don't know that, if they test a script like this, after they can't remove the folder because it's not the apache user...... I'm use php 5 on Apache2 load has a module.. Thanks for your reply, good night ;-) P.S : My english was correct? do you understand what i try to explain?? many thanks;) _________________________________________________________________ Protégez votre boîte de réception: Phishing : comment l'identifier, le signaler et l'empêcher http://www.fr.msn.be/security/phishing/
