It does not bypass when using error_log($fEntry,3,"/path/to/httpd-access.log"); even though both files have the same ownership and permissions(644)... the command simply succeeds on the httpd-error.log and doesn't on the httpd-access.log ...or more correctly on our server setup :) Could remove safe mode and modify file permissions, but that requires opening up security (and log editing by clients) to accomplish it. Or am I missing something? Cheers, Dave -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
