If you can't then you have an entirely different problem to discuss. fopen() can create files if they don't exist. So if you open a file for writing, it will by default receive the user/group of the web server. If you then need to access the file as some other user, you run into this situation.

Re: [PHP-DB] www-data file
What are you trying to achieve? Or to put it more clearly, why do you need the filw owner to be ethan?

[PHP-DB] Writing Problems
Dear List -
I can't figure this one out.
1] Straighten out ownership
ethan@meow:/var/www$ rm receipt.txt
ethan@meow:/var/www$ touch receipt.txt
ethan@meow:/var/www$ ls -l receipt.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 ethan ethan 0 Aug 26 19:31 receipt.txt
ethan@meow:/var/www$ chmod 766 receipt.txt
ethan@meow:/var/www$ ls -l receipt.txt
-rwxrw-rw- 1 ethan ethan 0 Aug 26 19:31 receipt.txt
This is what we want
2] Now program code
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 'on');
error_reporting(E_ALL | E_NOTICE);
ini_set('display_errors','1');
error_reporting(1);
$fh2 = fopen(/var/www/receipt.txt, a+);
want this file to be like a cash register receipt. I can truncate this
file for each execution of the program; ie, when all the purchases are
finished.
$sql3 = select quant, orderpt, ordrpt_flag, manuf, item, stock, price,
tax_flag from Inventory where UPC = $upc;
$result3 = mysqli_query($cxn, $sql3);
$row3 = mysqli_fetch_row($result3);
print_r($row3 ); //gives correct results.
$numbyt=fprintf($fh2, %s %s %.2f %s\n,$row3[3] , $row3[4], $row3[6],
$row3[7]);
echo br /numbyt fh2 $numbytbr /;//result is 0
No errors.
What is wrong??
TIA
Ethan

Re: [PHP-DB] Writing Problems
Do you check whether $fh2 is a resource after you fopen()?
btw, a better way than:
$ chown ethan:ethan filename.txt
Might be:
$ chown ethan:www-data filename.txt
$ chmod 664 filename.txt
This way you own the file, the server can write to it (assuming your server
has group www-data), and it is not world-writeable. (you almost never want
things to be world-writeable)
