Help with mkdir()

[dmsweets]

Hi,

 

I'm having problems implementing a simple upload script which creates a directory and uploads images to that folder. mkdir() works but the uid and gid are owned by apache. As a result the newly created folder cannot be accessed. I have scowered the internet for documentation on this subject but to no avail.

 

My code is more complicated but for the purpose of testing I have created a very simple page with code as follows:

 

<?php

mkdir("/var/www/vhosts/mirandamoser.com/httpdocs/author/test", 0777); 

?>

 

 

Has anyone else encountered this problem and if so is there a solution?

 

Thanks in advance
