WOW!!!
Guys, I have to sincerely thank you, everyone that had a say on this issue - I found out EXACTLY
what I wanted to know!
I'm not great at PHP, maybe even sort of a hack, I download useful small scripts and use them
and modify them some if I can figure it out. I've downloaded NUMEROUS scripts to generate
graphic thumbnails on the fly, all without using MYSQL. They have ALL worked - BUT - the devestating
downside is that I can't modify or delete in any way, the thumbnail folders or the thumbnails
in those folders, that the scripts create - it creates the files and folders with a really low
permission, like 055, even if its set to 777. Last time I realized this, I had to have my domain
host go in and delete my files for me (not a 'user friendly' solution).
From this page, I have learned that you want to create folders and files with 0755 permissions (I
think I'm on a Windows server but I do this just in case), then set the umask to 0, then chmod
the folder/file to 0755, then change your umask back - I have NO idea what umask is but I was
COMPLETELY bowled over when I checked and the files were *MINE* again!!! I chmodded, renamed, moved
and deleted files and folders and it ALL worked great! Thank you all so much! =D
