benphp Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I have a script that creates a txt file but doesn't work unless I set the directory to 777. Is it safe to do that?

Maq Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I have a script that creates a txt file but doesn't work unless I set the directory to 777. Is it safe to do that? That shouldn't be the case, are you the owner?

benphp Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 I'm the owner. I'm using <?php $fp = fopen($path.$_POST['signup'], 'w') or die("Sorry"); flock($fp, LOCK_EX); fwrite($fp, $string); flock($fp, LOCK_UN); fclose($fp); ?> which works on my windows dev box, but then when I upload it to my Linux server, it doesn't. I have to set the directory to 777. 775 doesn't work - other security settings didn't work.
