Wierd Problem With File Permissions

Conrad11 · 25 Oct 2007 at 17:38

Hi there,

I am having a problem with permissions of the files created by my PHP scripts.

After i create the files i am unable to delete them, via script script, file browser or ftp?

I have tried to chmod the files, but it doesn't give me permissions to change the permissions?

What is going on?

Thanks.

i'm guessing here, but if you're using your script to set the permissions, maybe the user account which the server process is running under becomes the owner of the file? just a thought? i've never used chmod in a script. i just set permissions on the parent folders via ftp and i've never had problems creating/editing/deleting files generated by my script.

i could be talking absolute nonsense. i usually do in this section.

I chmod all the files 0777 which is full permissions i think.

Wait i have just checked and some of the permissions are 0644

Is there anyway i can force a delete?
