note 75654 added to function.move-uploaded-file

If you have a directory in a *nix environment where you store all of your file uploads and your php script only seems to work when permissions for that directory are set to 777, here's how to fix it so that you can have the security benefits of 755 while still allowing your php scripts to work, including the move_uploaded_file(). through shell access, navigate to the directory that contains your uploads folder and run the following 2 commands: chown -R nobody uploaddir chmod -R 755 uploaddir Replace 'uploaddir' with the name of your uploads directory. The first command changes the owner of the directory and files to 'nobody' which is what php operates under. The second changes the folder and files to only allow user access to writing. This is much more secure. Hopefully this will help someone out there who had the same problem as me. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 67.119.12.178 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/75654 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75654/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75654/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75654/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75654/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75654/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75654/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75654 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/75654 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
