Re: [PHP] File permitions

2001-09-23 Thread rico

looks pretty straightforward with php's caveat to be careful to use octal...

chmod ("/somedir/somefile", 0755);  // octal; correct value of mode

Re: [PHP] File permitions

2001-09-23 Thread rico

im definitely not a guru, but perhaps this might help

http://www.php.net/manual/en/html/function.chmod.html
http://www.php.net/manual/en/html/function.chown.html

those are the doc pages on usage of similar process for setting permissions
(i believe)

Re: [PHP] File permitions

2001-09-23 Thread recognize

Maybe I wasn't clear in my previous message:
What I want to do is: when you fill the form, record it 
to a file without 666 permitions. I mean: I don't want 
to have the file "opened" to everybody. In Perl it was 
possible (because it uses directly "system" user, which 
is similar to "root"), I want to make it possible using 
PHP. E.G.: The PHP-script receives the form, makes an 
internal authentication and creates or writes the file 
with 600 permitions.

Thank you,

Manuel Silva

With 000 permissions?  Is "system" an alias for root?  If not, then it's
not possible.

But normally the files should only need access for the group running the
webserver process.  Here at home, it's apache/apache.
