hi all

I'm trying to do the following:
a user can log in on a site where he/she can change the contents of a css-stylesheet 
file with the aid of forms.
The results of the form input are used to wrie a css file on the webserver which later 
will be used in the HTML files of the website.

I know how to read/write to the server. But after the action I have to chmod the file 
which was created. I don't want users to input php code or perl code which can then be 
executed by calling the url....Anybody knows how to do this?

In the example file below I use the chmod function. I tried nearly every value (not 
only 0777), but still you are able to enter php code, goto the url and ...voila the 
script is executed.

Any ideas would be most welcome.
