friend , the problrm is that i have to install a project managment tool which works with PHP5.1.6 and MySQL I installed it properly.Now when i use it to upload documents, the it is not uplading properly, but no error message is shown. I contacted the program vendors and they told that give the folders permissions for PHP to write into it. Hope u now understand my problem.I tried giving permissions for the folders to be writable using the Windows 2003 .is there any other permissions to be set for PHP. plz help me Thanks Arun
