Create File chmod error

[flyersun]

I'm having problems when creating files using a php script.

 

The file is created fine but the chmod is not working even though I have set it to 0777 it's been set to 0755.

 

mkdir("../../images/photos/$user_id/$filename1/", 0777);

 

I really can't work out why this line of code is not working other than it being a problem with the server I'm using.

Try using absolute pathname rather then relative pathnames or at least while debugging.

 

It looks like you might be trying to create two directories with one mkdir command. I'm not sure if that's allowed or if you have to specfiy the 'recursive' argument to do that. Check the manual: http://us3.php.net/mkdir

 

Have you checked if the script has the proper permissions to create a file in the 'photos'directory

Thanks I will try the absolute pathnames!

 

Not sure what you mean when you say I'm trying to create 2 dirs but I will check the manual.

 

uhmm I wasn't aware that the script I was using needed special permissions what would they be? 777?

The PHP user needs to have full rights on the folder I think.

If both the $user_id and $filename directories did not exist, and you used the mkdir command like you are, it would need to create the $user_id directory and the $filename directory. That may or may not work. I'm not sure, but I think it's worth looking into, because the unix command 'mkdir' requires a special argument to do something like that.

 

Just for curiosity, try this. It might work:

 

mkdir("../../images/photos/$user_id/$filename1/", 0777, true);

Warning: mkdir() expects at most 2 parameters, 3 given in /home2/amytucke/public_html/site/php/album/createalbum.php on line 78

Flyersun must be using an older version of PHP.  I think the recursive parameter was added in PHP 5.

Think I've fixed it that you for all your help
