PclTar - Can't create new tar

[robembra]

Hi,

 

I have found this class from http://www.phpconcept.net that create tars aswell as extracting them.

 

Extracting works great but i cant create a tar.

 

I am using the following code:

$p_tarname = "backup_new.tgz";
$p_list = array("/home/sites/me/public_html/forum");
$p_mode = "tgz";

$output = PclTarCreate($p_tarname, $p_list, $p_mode, $p_add_dir, $p_remove_dir);

print("<pre>".print_r($output,true)."</pre>");

 

With the error:

 

Warning: is_file() [function.is-file]: Stat failed for /home/sites/me/public_html/forum/docs/../docs/../docs/../docs/../../s7/. (errno=13 - Permission denied) in /home/sites/me/public_html/lib/pcltar.lib.php on line 1415

make sure your $p_list does not contain any links to "../*" .... directory's higher in tree than "/home/sites/me/public_html/forum"
