Re: Re: Better security for write permissions?

>Why is my sys admin throwing such a fit? >How can I explain to him how secure this is or am I missing something? Some administrators don't want to allow anything but passive HTML. Allowing write permissions IS a security risk, if not done correctly, and requires a lot more attention from the administrator. I can't put any server scripts on the piddly little web site my ISP provides, for example. You generally need a professional web hosting service for that. Do you have any other scripts that write or edit files on the server? This is "off topic" for PHP. It is more server related. Maybe you should contact me directly if you have more questions. -- Dave "Crash" Dummy Certified Dilettante Dave@gpick.com http://lists.gpick.com
