hi mike ...
actually, this was my first mistake ... i received this chmod error because
i entered the command into the unix terminal window using osx.
i tried later to change the permissions using php (a script), but was unable
to do so:
$chg = chmod ("photos", 0777);
error message ==> chmod failed: Operation not permitted in
/Library/WebServer/Documents/browsin/copy.ph
i'll try using the full path ... thx jeremy
