Re: [PHP] Re: Can not delete files that were uploaded
Be warned that if PHP can delete them, so can anybody else on the shared server who wants to write a PHP script to delete them, unless you've configured PHP specially to run as a specific user, which is unlikely for most ISP setups. How can PHP be configured to run as a specific user? I'm referring to a DSO installation, where I assume that because PHP is 'part' of Apache, it would be the same user as Apache.

Apache 2.0 allows that... Meanwhile, in *CURRENT* ISP-land :-) Some ISPs give you *BOTH* Apache as Module (DSO) and as CGI via suExec, using different extensions. So for those really critical security pages that need to run as you, use the .phpcgi (or whatever) extension and leave the rest as normal .php Actually, I don't even know what the extension is that does .phpcgi on my servers, I just use the ForceType directive to set the mime-type. It's nice to be able to run a PHP script as me when I have to instead of as nobody Very nice. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: Can not delete files that were uploaded
I use PHP to upload files to the web server via web browser. However, I can not delete the files later cause the Redhat linux server running on safe mode. Do I have to changed the owner of the file during the file uploading time? Please let me know how to solve this problems. The files are going to get deleted unless you do something in the upload script to save/store/copy them. There is no problem. :-) If, after you have created/moved them, you can't delete them, then you need to have done stuff like: http://php.net/umask http://php.net/chmod and have the correct settings on the source/destination directory permissions to get the files in the state that you want them in -- Whether that's deleting via a cron job, or manually or letting PHP do it.

[PHP] Re: Can not delete files that were uploaded
You can try to 'chmod' it first : @chmod ($myfile, 0777); and then do an exec or passthru.. exec(rm -f $myfile); Note the '@', if the chmod fails, he doesn't show it...
