note 85313 added to function.touch

"Glen: In unix on the command-line, you can touch files you don't own - but like other comments on this page state - PHP's built in touch won't work." No, you can not modify files you don't have write access to in a multi-user environment, ever, under any circumstances. The reason why you fail to do this "in PHP" is because your httpd is most likely running as a "shared" setup, running as nobody/nobody, and your user's files aren't world-writable, and they are not owned by nobody/nobody. Change your required files to be world-writable and you can touch() them, and more. ---- Server IP: 80.67.2.2 Probable Submitter: 83.227.160.33 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.touch.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/85313 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85313/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85313/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85313/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85313/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85313/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85313/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85313 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/85313 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
