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?

Re: [PHP-DB] www-data file
Another, safer, thing to consider would be setting a sticky bit on whatever directory the files will be in: http://computernetworkingnotes.com/managing-file-system-security/sticky-bit.html I've used sticky bits in a number of situations with multiple groups and users co-habiting environments quite nicely in the past. You'll find that simply chowning from inside php won't always work, depending on how your groups are setup. If it will be just one file (rather than an unlimited number of them created by the server), simply chown it to ethan manually, once. -matt On Aug 25, 2014 9:43 PM, Aziz Saleh azizsa...@gmail.com wrote: On Tue, Aug 26, 2014 at 12:20 AM, Ethan Rosenberg erosenb...@hygeiabiomedical.com wrote: Dear list - When I use fopen, the file owner and group are both www-data.
