Re: [PHP] copy + chmod problems ...
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

Re: [PHP] copy + chmod problems ...
i just tried a test and it works on MacOS X. even with the space between
'chmod' and '('.
what platform are you on? is this a standalone script/app or from a web
page? can you perform the chmod from the command-line? what is the entire
error message?
also, the error doesn't really suggest this, but have you tried using the
full path?

[PHP] copy + chmod problems ...
hello,
i'm attempting to copy a file from its original location to a new folder ...
$oldfile = "files/adamsCampbells.swf";
$newfile = "photos/adamsCampbells.swf";
$test = copy($oldfile, $newfile);
however, in doing so, i'm encountering some problems:

i've been trying to change permissions so that i can copy the file, but i'm
encountering some errors
chmod ("files", 0777);
Badly placed ()'s.
does anybody recognize any problems with my approach or have any advice?
