Hi people, I want to be able to get PHP to create a directory (and the add a writable file to it). No problem you say, mkdir() is the answer. However, I want PHP to be able to create a directory in a directory created by someone else. [!--fonto:Courier New--][span style=\"font-family:Courier New\"][!--/fonto--]total 0 drwxr-xr-x 3 mortal admin 102 Mar 23 21:41 . drwxrwxrwx 61 al admin 2074 Mar 23 21:49 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 mortal admin 68 Mar 23 21:41 test[!--fontc--][/span][!--/fontc--] The 'test' directory was successfully created by user 'mortal'. I want PHP to create a subdirectory called 'meta' but it doesn't have the permission to do so?!?! Can anyone tell me how to either gain permission or otherwise get around this problem please? cheers,
