arunvg Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Hi Friends,I am using [color=orange][color=blue]PHP5.1.6 with MYSQL5.0 and IIS6.0 (Windows 2003 Server)[/color][/color]as an environment for my project managament tool.I have got some error in uploading files to that tool.I was advised to check whether the folders have permissions for PHP to write into it.I have given the permission to folders (Properties-> Checking the column for "Write"). but it is still not working. Is there any other methods to give permissions for PHP to write into that folders.Pls help me. ???ThanksArun :( Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/19108-giving-permissions-for-php-to-write-in-folders/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottRiley Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 If you'#re creating a file using fopen, you need to include "w+" e.g. to create the file "newfile.txt" use [code]<? fopen("newfile.txt", "w+"); ?>[/code] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/19108-giving-permissions-for-php-to-write-in-folders/#findComment-82683 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayBachatero Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Do you mean CHMOD? If so you can use chmod('file path', permission ie 0777).chmod('/opt/lampp/htdocs/hello/', 0777). Sometimes this wont work on some servers so you have to use FTP to CHMOD it.You can do something like this for FTP CHMOD[code]<?php //Let's check if file is NOT writeable. if (!is_writeable($file)) { //Connect to FTP and login $ftp_connect = ftp_connect($ftp_url); if (!$ftp_connect) die('Can\'t connect'); $ftp_login = ftp_login($ftp_connect, $ftp_user, $ftp_pass); if(!$ftp_login) die('Can\'t login'); //FTP CHMOD if (!ftp_site($ftp_connect, 'CHMOD 0777' . $file)) ftp_site($ftp_connect, 'CHMOD 0755' . $file); else echo 'File not writeable'; //FTP close connection ftp_close($ftp_connect); }?>[/code] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/19108-giving-permissions-for-php-to-write-in-folders/#findComment-83798 Share on other sites More sharing options...
