Re: [PHP] unable to copy and chmod

2002-01-15 Thread Edgard Berendsen

The probem is that when I copy the file, the owner is set to
something that PHP lately can't change !
This happened to me in 2 tottaly different servers.

I want to copy a file (as a template) and make it writable using PHP.

 Any file copied with PHP will stay writable from PHP, as the owner is set
to whatever PHP is running under.

 Explain how the file got there and how you'd like to change it (through
PHP, FTP etc.)

 bvr.

Hi Edgard,

 I'm trying to copy a file and chmod it to make it writable, but after I copy
 it using PHP I can't even chmod in ftp !

since you upload it using PHP, most likely the owner of the file is
nobody.nobody, that's why you can't chmod thru ftp. (unless you login
to ftp as nobody ;))

 I can't change the file owner too.

only root can chown

You need root access to fix your problem...or re-upload your file using
ftp, not php.
