Re: [PHP] Relative beginner in dire need of help! (Scratch my last message, sorry... )
Are you sure the permissions on the directory are set up correctly? The
user that the db is run as (usually nobody in apache/linux) needs read and
write privileges on that directory

You need to give the web server user (on unix it's often nobody or apache or some such) access to the entire directory tree up to an including the directory where you want to store the file. > Should work though someone else can probably tell you and me > how to avoid the 777 securtity risk that will cause ;-) For every directory except the one that you actually want to create the files in you can use 755 instead. This has the effect of letting people 'cd' to the directory but little else. Then on the actual directory where files are created you make it 777. It's still a potential security problem but a smaller one than having the whole tree wide open. Actually, thinking about it, 744 might even let you do it - if I recall, you basically only need to give execute permissions to let someone into the directory but need read permissions to let them view contents. The key is that it _MUST_ include the entire tree that gets you to that directory. CYA, Dave -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
