This is a very good idea. There was a bug in php at one time that allowed a umask setting to be held in the apache process that it was run in so you really could not rely on a umask being set to any specific value. It was reported via redhat: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=121454 Bret -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
