Note Submitter: tricord@tricordnet.com ---- I don't know how to solve this problem, but I know what causes it. A file or a dir chmod'ed to 0777 is seen as "unsecure" on some systems, because it has full read/write/execute permissions for everybody. Therefore access is blocked to most applications (including PHP3) to prevent a security hole. Best thing is to use chmod 0775. If you create files with PHP, you can reopen them, delete them, write to them and execute them as you wish. 0777 is never a good idea, unless you really need it...
